A spool of RG-62C/U (90 ohm) needs to find a new home. 350-400 feet aprox according to the TDR.

A spool of RG-58A/U (~50 ohm) also needs to find a new home ~ 250 feet-according to the TDR

A spool of RG-11U is also available...something over 200 feet I am sure, but can I hook it up to check if interested.

Hi everyone....the RG-11 can be used to make "rat-race ring combiners" for combining two amplifiers together.  We have two of them in use here and they work great.  Nothing to blow out or replace...what a deal.  See Lance's web pages for a description of how he does it....

RG-58 is great for making "RF fuses".  When you run too much RF, the fuse melts and the RF current stops....what a deal!

RG-62 can be used for the half wave balun cable on T matches, etc. 

I hope to see everyone at the PNW conference.  Someone out there needs to send me a "threatening email" so that I will find out when and where it is and get the plane tickets.  NOTHING happens with me unless I receive a "threatening email"......
