[SCCC] Beverage Schtuff Wanted

[Steve Harrison]

Before I order schtuff from the web... anybody selling schtuff with 
which to build Beverages? I'm planning on three single-direction 
Beverages for 160/80/40 (non-reversible), likely 580' long but maybe 290 
- 295'.

I have (and can get more):
- supports,
-insulators for the wire,
-fence wire... The easy schtuff to acquire...

I'll still need:
- 9:1 transformers,
- preamp (advice here also solicited: will I actually need a preamp??),
- relay switching system to protect the preamp/transformers during 
lightning storms,
- termination resistors,
- boxes for the above...
- and lots and lots of good RG-6, along with a good F-connector crimp 
tool and good connectors. Right now, two lengths will have to be at 
least 150' long, the third probly around 175 to 200 ft. Hardline can 
also be used. Back in CT, I had a 1000' spool of good RG-11 but had to 
leave it when I moved back here. I may still be able to get it back, 
however...

Advice on Beverages in California also solicited, particularly on sandy 
soil.
