[TowerTalk] Fw: Feeding single band HF yagis 500+ ft from the shack

Connectors are really not expensive, especially surplus N style. It is
unfortunate for us that the cell towers no longer use 1 1/4 and 1 5/8
Heliax, it was much easier to get surplus than it is now.

One thing I observed in the past (>3yrs ago) looking for surplus 
hardline was that the larger diameters (>7/8) are sold at a bigger 
discount.  Connectors get expensive, but only two are needed.

A factor impacting the market is new cell towers don't use much hardline 
any more, all the RF stuff is at the top in the antennas.
