[Antennas] What is Beldfoil shield?

[Philip, KO6BB]

Hi Sam et al,

It's been a long time, but I remember seeing some shielded twinlead, I 
believe that it had a "foil" sheath.  I could be wrong, but I suspect 
"Beldfoil" is Belden's trade name for the product.  Incidentally, shielded 
twinlead has more loss than unshielded, especially at higher frequencies. 
So unless you need the shield I'd suggest the "regular" stuff.
