[TowerTalk] 300' of line

[Bill Cotter]

Duane,

Look for "tag-ends" (end of reel) of PVC coated aluminum hardline 
from the cable TV installers. Uncovered aluminum is also good 
stuff, but needs to be kept off the ground.

I have received thousands of feet of 1/2" and 7/8" for free to haul 
it away. The best time to find it is when installers are replacing 
the old lines, or putting in new stuff. 75-ohm line works great for 
antennas that are far away from the shack.
