I purchase flooded CATV cable direct from the CommScope factory since
I buy pallet loads at a time. You might do an internet search for
CATV suppliers if you only want a single reel.
By the way, Times makes a T-10 type power cable that is 5/8th inch
diameter with a solid copper center. It has an aluminum jacket and is
available flooded, and is competitive with LMR400 cables in price.
As a matter of fact, I am only paying about $1.10 a foot for new
Heliax now that businesses are all slow. Connectors are about 1/2 the
normal prices.

I buy mine from electrical supply houses. 2500 foot reels are fairly
cheap. For only 500 foot, talk nice to a telephone repair guy. They
often have some around that has a "messed up" reel.
