I found a 500 foot roll laying in the street that had obviously fell off a
truck.  No one claimed it and have used it for rotor cable on a Yaesu G-5400
rotor, telephone hookup throughout the whole house, secondary garage door
opener buttons, intercom and of course what it was intended for, automatic
under ground sprinkling valves.  Handy stuff.  6 years and no failures.
