[UK-CONTEST] Cables

[Alex GM3ZBE]

Hi all,
I've been watching this thread with interest too - but for a different 
reason. My local club, Kingdom Amateur Radio Society started a year ago 
this January.  We are located at the Scout Headquarters for Scotland and 
liase closely with the Scouts.  We have been trying to obtain a length 
of heliax or similar to bury to our 40ft versatower.  The impression 
given in many of the replies in this discussion is that it is easy to 
get surplus heliax but we have been trying for about 9 months with no 
success at all.  The cable run is through very wet ground and RG213 
would not last for long.

Maybe we are not asking in the right places - Does anybody know where we 
might get some with appropriate connectors?

Thanks
Alex, GM3ZBE
