method to confirm antenna wire is still good

[nwarky]

As the title states, is there a way to make sure that the 30+ year old antenna wire on our Turbo Regals is still in usable condition? (Yes, I am referring to bench testing.) Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Should show zero ohms from radio end (center conductor) to the mast.
From the center pin to shield) should NOT show continuity.

Gary,

Thanks for the help. Simple enough.
