[time-nuts] RG 6 U couplings

[Chuck Harris]

Real RG58 has a copper wire shield.
Real RG6 has a copper wire shield.

RG58 and RG6 tend to leak RF a bit.

Real Quad 6 has aluminum foil and aluminum wire shields.

Quad 6 was designed to use multiple layers of grounding shield to
prevent this leakage.  RG6 should have the same foam center insulation
as the Quad, only it should have fewer shield layers.
