It's no good for TV, as it's 50 Ohm, and TV cable needs to be 75 Ohm. But 50 Ohm is the right cable for radio antenna cable, including Amateur radio. I got my ham license recently and would really appreciate if somebody still had some old unwanted coax cable to give away. All my sources are long at the dumpster. :(

The problem with cable that old is it deteriorates with time.  I haven't
seen coax Ethernet since the mid '90s, so that's pushing 20 years.
