Paul, Sounds like a great project ahead. In addition to HFTA, you need to ask yourself "what's my goal?". Is it DXing? DX Contesting? Domestic Contesting? A mix of all? No answer will be optimum for

Hard Line is available if you keep a sharp eye out for it and go to a few of the hamfests. I have 1500 ft of LDF5-50 and 300 ft of LDF4 here and my average cost is $1.50 a ft delivered or picked up.

John, If you can spread that need across a few years, you can keep the average price down on the used market. If you need 5000 ft today, then its going to be time to get the checkbook out. Ed N1UR I
