Just to clarify -- this is NOT CATV hard line, this is 50 ohm stuff. If
Davis is selling it, it's probably just fine.
OTOH, it's worth poking around for used hard line. Ask around -- you
may be surprised by what you find. All of the hard line in my station
and in my stash came used or new surplus, mostly for about $1/ft.

Tim,
Got any responses on this yet ?
I am thinking of trying some 7/8" hard line from Davis RF.
It is their 7/8" RFS Cellflex. The connectors aren't too expensive,
about $13.00.
Here's is their page for info.

Anyone have any experience with this stuff ?
I understand it is used a lot on cell towers.

Several years ago I was able to get about 100 feet of 7/8" Hardline
from our local cable tv company as they were replacing it with heliax.
If it is useful for my tower rebuild, I would like to put it into
service there. The question of matching and connectors rears its
ugly head. Again realizing that I am probably about to start a
firestorm, I am asking for input / suggestions
Thanks
