I recently found 800' LDF4 and 300' FSJ4 and two spools of #2 solid from
a cell tower contractor changing his business so it pays to check
Craigslist. In spite of "in stock" advertising I've never found LDF5
anywhere except in ham garages. So I had to buy AVA5 at $3/ft after
careful shopping. The import knock offs are cheaper, but I have no
opinion about their quality or longevity.
Tessco is one source for tower stuff I use.
Note how larger diameter full reels can be cheaper than 7/8:

I have bought about 1200 feet from Hamvention and Ham-Com flea market

a roll of 500 feet for $400. This is all from unused rolls once stored for
commercial applications, but eventually sold to resellers for below
wholesale price.
I also have found half-inch hard line from other manufacturers, and it seems
to work just as well, and can use the same connectors.

Subject: [TowerTalk] LDF4-50 heliax
Does anyone have input on a good place to buy Heliax at a decent price? It
looks like I will need at least 1000 feet.
Thank you,
