I am fortunate enough to be able to offer you this difficult to obtain cable. Now that it has become a rarity in the radio and TV industry. I was able to find a company, which is still producing it for me. This cable is particularly suited for use by radio amateurs because it offers a good alternative to the open line for use with low to medium power outputs. OK, you can still find the well-known "WIREMAN" open line, but this is rather obtrusive, somewhat heavy, and very much overkill for use with 100W output. Most amateurs using parallel line fed antennas don't use a PA because suitable antenna tuners are rare, and very expensive if you do happen to find one. This makes the use of windowed ribbon cable an all the more interesting alternative.
