     Unless you measure excessive losses on each run (using your MFJ259, etc.) 
after you disconnect each antenna, I would keep the coax in place.  It's only 
another coupla years until you relocate.  When you move chances are you'll need 
differing coax lengths which you could cut from fresh reels of the stuff in 
2009.

Planning some redecorating on the tower (TH7 stack coming down, C31XR 
going up, replacing broken 40m Yagi, etc.) this summer.  The coax runs, 
some RG213 and some LMR400, are about 15 years old.  Would I see any 
significant benefit by replacing them?  It will all be coming down in 
about 2 years, anyway, as I'll be relocating at that time.  Worth the 
extra work and expense, or not?
Tnx,
Barry
