[Elecraft] 90 ' of 1/2" Andrew Heliax FSJ4-50B and 2 F4PNM new in box connectors FOR SALE

This is the guy who chewed me out.  I don’t disagree, on the other hand I did not propagate lots of traffic.  He is not a friendly.  Good luck. I have not and will not respond to him.  I don’t wish to fill the reflector with debate.  My listing was simple for one in need of the cable.  I have kept all the responses but one off line, in which I apologized.  Some HAMs have nothing better to do than be self asserting jerks.  Too bad as they don’t do well for the hobby, but no biggie here.  Without responses, his words become deaf.

Ron,

I do not agree.

Elecraft reflector should be about Elecraft products. Just like my Toyota Tundra reflector, only Tundra products and happenings are discussed.

If the moderator allows anything, I maybe asking for receipts for chocolate cookies to eat so that I can have a snack while operating my K3...

My 2 cents,

Ray,

You can be sure if a post does not belong here Eric, the list moderator,
will say so.

In his previous posts, Eric has stressed that *anything* of interest in
setting up and operating a Ham station or in promoting Amateur Radio is okay
provided the posters use discretion in the number of posts on a given
subject.

Ray,  Thank you.  I mistakenly posted on the reflector in response to
another thread then realized it was off topic, corrected it without
thinking.  I will post this as it is not conforming with list rules and I do
apologize.  MEA COPA as my wife with prompt me.

Bill,

I will be buying a 250 - 300 ft spool of 1/2" hardline from a local
salvage/surplus store for $100. Guess you would consider it NOS. The wooden
spools themselves are in poor shape. Not certain that it is Andrews coax, if
not, its a very good copy.

Like John says, you buy it when you find a good bargain. Same with
connectors; at swap meets, used connectors are typically no more that $5
each. I guess if someone needs some hardline now, and could pick it up
locally, yours would be a fair price.

You can also often find 7/8", 100 - 130 ft  hardline pieces  for about $1 a
foot. Sometimes they may have a connector on one end included.

BTW, I agree with others, this is not an subject Elecraft and does not
belong here. I'm sending this email to the "TowerTalk" reflector where it
really should be.
