[SEDXC] Coax at the Hamfest

[JT Croteau]

I haven't been to a hamfest in about 12 years so I am not sure what to
expect at Stone Mountain this coming Saturday.  I take that back, I
went to one in So. Cal. last year, supposedly the biggest and most
well known out there, and was terribly disappointed as it was more of
a junk computer and audio/video fest than a hamfest.  I haven't been
to a good hamfest since the last "hostraders" I went to back in 1-land
in the early 90's.

One of the things I will be shopping for is a fair amount of coax as I
have two antennas to put up once I get back from the hamfest.  I'll be
needing 100' of 9913 and probably 150' of RG8X size coax (LMR-240
preferred).  What things should I be looking for when perusing the
various tables so I don't get burned on bad coax.  I'm sure there will
be plenty of folks pimping used coax and, while I don't necessarily
mind used coax if I can trust the source, I don't want to get burned.

Back in the day you could find good deals on coax at the hamfests, is
this still the case.

Thanks and 73's
