Do you happen to be in Wa. state?

I have a 1k spool of lmr400 I could let you take measurements from :-). 
Probably still have 200ish feet on my "small" roll.

I've also got various hardline cable (5/8", 3/8" and some 1" I think.). 
Mostly under 100' runs.  Came off of a tower, old gear that I never used so 
I'm not exactly sure what's there.
