[50mhz] Fwd: CATV hardline adapters

[Chris Boone]

The list does not allow attachments.....

You can make adapters for 1/2 or 3/4in CATV hardline using 
Brass Compression Unions (3/4 to 1/2 or 1/2 to 1/2)..did that
20 years ago....worked fine even at UHF!

Yes, CATV cable can be got legally.....just ASK the local CATV 
folks for any left over spools...to them anything less than
1000ft is too short...and the junk spools usually get thrown 
out...if you ask nice enough, they left you have them for free..
if not, a little gratuity thrown the right person's way for 
"hauling off the junk leftovers" will work; that or a 1/5 of
good labeled whiskey to the right person who appreciates it;
I always use JD Blackjack label myself :)
