Alfred, All,
Quite some time ago there was a list discussion about how various
types of flat strap, tubing, solid wire, twisted multi-strand wire,
straight
multi-strand wire, and braided wire (like the outside jacket of coax
or the flattened braided strap), all compared to each other. Richard
Quick and Malcolm Watts in particular gave an enormous 'thumbs down'
on the use of braided conductors in our RF application of primary
coils and ground runs. Seems the electricity has to hop
between all those little wires while doing the skin effect dance.
The braid is not laboratory clean and there is some junction loss at
each connection.
My usage of the term 'illegal' was merely tounge-in-cheek.
