Can you use coax?  No airline that I have flown will let you take along a 
200 pound bag!  Even if you cut it up, the luggage charges would exceed the 
value of the ladder line.

I got a reply from Wireman. 553 ladder line weighs 6lb/100ft.

<towertalk at contesting.com">mailto:towertalk at contesting.com>I want to take 
100 metres of 450 ohm ladder line (say, Wireman 553) with
me on a trip to Africa. I can't find any data on the weight of this
stuff on the web or the list archives. I need to know because I am on a
tight budget for baggage. Please can someone enlighten me?
