I would think that how well it will work would depend on the frequency and power level. RG-214 or Belden 9914 would likely be a much better choice. 9880 might handle 1,500W PEP on 40 meters and it might not. When in doubt, go larger; although you probably wouldn't want something like the recently-discontinued Andrew LDF12-50 (2-1/4" corrugated foam dielectric semi-flexible cable; the hole in the center conductor is large enough to thread 9880 through it, and it can handle 250KW PEP).
(I have a short cutoff piece if anybody wants to see what such a thing looks like....)
But if you have 9880 and it works for you.... it certainly would be a talking point when somebody visits you and asks about the banded yellow cable!
Tell them you have a tiger in your rig!
