Ten years or so ago, I purchased 1,000 feet of "ultra low loss" coaxial
cable. It turned out that I could not use it because it has an air core and
special end connectors. It is highly prized for UHF systems that require
very low loss at very high frequencies. The cable is like new, on a large
wooden commercial roll, and has been stored in my barn completely out of
any weather. The wooden "enclosure" is in good shape. Since I have no plans
to use it, but need to clean out the barn, I'm offering it free of charge
to anyone who comes and takes it. The cable roll will fit into any
reasonably large trailer. It is too large for a normal pickup truck,
however.

If I get no requests for it, this whole length of very low loss 50 Ohm coax
will go to the Hays County dump in a week or two. Please contact me at my
email: n3bb at mindspring.com if interested.

Please QSP this info to other radio clubs. Thanks and I sure hope that some
serious UHFer of V-UHFer or even normal HFer can utilize this material.
