Mine doesnt say that, bob, I have one piece that says S.I.W whatever that means, my 213 doesnt have any of those letters.

S.I.W. = Superior Insulated Wire

Very Good COAX / WIRE

I have used it for Many Years now and 100% Satisfied.

It is also the Only Brand of Coax that Copper handles.

Thanks, Lon, learn something new every day. I have had good luck with that Coax. That is what I have on my beam, I have 213 on the GP.

Another maybe dumb Cox question. I am putting up a multiband antenna, going to mount it above my horizontal beam, it is for 2,6,10 meters, and 440. What kind of coax should I use for that? I guess what my question is isnt the loss higher for these other bands? Or will my same coax work?

Here is a great chart to explain why COPPER is always recommending RG-213. The losses are interesting. The numbers are standard to the industry and apply to all besides Belden.
