[TowerTalk] Source for RG6 Coax

I am looking for a good source for RG-6 for an upcoming
RX antenna project. I need quick turnaround (stocking 
supplier) and a good price (I need 1000 feet). My preference 
would be single shield (95% copper braid) as the diameter of 
this stuff is small enough that my .250" I.D. type 31 ferrite 
beads (I have a whole box of them) will slip right over the
outside of this stuff (the multi-shield stuff is too big), but
I am thinking that the copper shield stuff is probably more
expensive than the multi-shield aluminum braid over foil
style stuff (I can put the #31 beads on short RG-59 pigtails
if it turns the multi-shield stuff is significantly cheaper). Any 
idea what a good quantity price is for each type of RG-6?

Thanks,

Mike, W4EF.........................................
