Yep. Timing,phasing,and resonance would be the reasons why I would measure out a coax based on it's velocity factor for use say,like in a circular polarization antenna. I used to cut my coax long and then cut off the extra in increments in order to even up the swr readings on each end of the band I wanted to use it for but I think you or/and others commented on if that be the case then it would be because I had a non resonant antenna. All the more reason I would want to get an antenna analyzer.

P.S. If I do buy coax for specific application it would be cut based on velocity factor and not physical length
