The IARC has quite a supply of usable donated coax.
  There are many small bundles of mostly RG-8 size coax ( .450") , of random lengths, and will have a connectors on at least one end ( many have PL-259  or 'N' connectors on both ends) .
connectors on both ends.
  After Field day, (probably some time in July), I hope to get to the task identifying our collection of used coax. I want to measure length, hook it to the TDR to test for obvious issues, and tagging each, for type, and length.   Then I will list it all, and post the list.

  This is all IARC donations, collected over the years.  If you have some specific need, let me know.  As I go through the piles, I can set aside any that meet specific requests.
  Distribution will be as time permits, but small donations to the IARC are expected, ( estimated value to be determined by the buyer )

Since there have been no inquiries about the coax, maybe someone should use some of it making coax stub bandpass filters that the club could use or loan out to members?

Paul ,
  That is a good suggestion.
  I prefer to use dedicated BP filters, for convenience; but there is enough for some stub filters, if folks want to try that.
    There is also quite a bit of RG-11 (half a spool?), for making impedancec transformers, if desired.
