[Elecraft] Co-ax for the K2

[rrkrr]

Art,
The reason most coax outer jackets are black is to slow breakdown of the 
plastic material by UV rays.  There is not much coax designed for 
outdoor use that is not either black or possessed of a solid metal outer 
conductor.  You could try getting your hands on some coax hardline of 
the cable TV variety and painting it white.....
