[TowerTalk] 7/8" CATV Hardline

[Jim Brown]

Just to clarify -- this is NOT CATV hard line, this is 50 ohm stuff. If 
Davis is selling it, it's probably just fine.

OTOH, it's worth poking around for used hard line.  Ask around -- you 
may be surprised by what you find.  All of the hard line in my station 
and in my stash came used or new surplus, mostly for about $1/ft.
