[Elecraft] FIXED--was NOT the feedline

[Grant Youngman]

The only thing that would concern me about buying this (NOS) material of unknown date of manufacture from eBay is that it does have a shelf life of 5 years in its pre-stretched state when properly stored (50-80 deg F at less than 75% relative humidity).  If it’s been stored in someone’s hot humid garage or been rattling around in a tool box in a pickup bed in the sun for a couple of years before it hits the auction site, there’s no telling.  I suspect at some point it won’t shrink as much as the specification.  But it is less expensive from most sellers than the retail pricing.
