[TriEmbed] stranded core coax

[Pete Soper]

I was out of town for the last meeting so I'm guessing what this is 
about. But at WIFI frequencies you need 50 ohm coax ideally. Audio cable 
would mostly turn the RF into heat.

Here's a decent table of info from a vendor I bought from when I was 
active with amateur radio:

Wireman Coax <https://www.thewireman.com/coaxdatacurrent2.pdf>

RG58 with a stranded center conductor is likely best if you can stand 
the stiffness and size (roughly 2/10" diameter).

I have some very skinny RG174A/U that you could use. It's loss at 2.4ghz 
is impressive, but it is commonly used at WIFI frequencies to move the 
RF a foot or two.
