[TowerTalk] free CATV

[wn0x at earthlink.net]

I have had luck with this as well.  A fellow ham who works for a cell phone company turned me on to "scraps" they wanted to get rid off.  The net result was 185' of 1-5/8" heliax for free.

The stuff was certainly scraped up and well used, but very serviceable.  I will be able to get a signal to the tower base for less than a 1 db of loss.
