When we get to the Reno area for a week, starting on February 6th, we 
will be looking for a few things and I wonder if anyone in the area 
might have what we need. The things on the list are:

1) Small coax...RG-8X preferred but RG-58 okay, too. At least 100-feet.

2) Crimp connectors for the above coax. At least five.

3) Antenna wire. Prefer good quality 18-gauge copper-clad. At least 
200-feet.

4) 300 or 450-ohm transmitting twin-lead for a couple of W8JK wire 
antennas. At least 30-feet needed but would like as much as 50-feet.

5) Physically small antenna tuner that can handle coax, balanced line 
and end-fed antennas. At least 100-watt power rating. If nothing else is 
available I will consider MFJ but would prefer something else.

Our present location dictates wire antennas but, hopefully that will 
change later this year.
