Harvey,  Anyone out there in HCARC-stan who might give, trade, or sell some
new/used/abused RG-213 Coax?  I need a 46foot length and an 87foot length to
build a couple of double bazooka antennae.  One for 40meters, and the other
for 80meters.  Any large diameter coax without additional foil shield will
do.  Formula for double bazooka braid shield elements length is:  325/fHz,
and overall length:  460/fHz.  Tailpiece additions can be made of THHN wire.
I use 12 gauge solid.  Works fine.  Very careful measurements and deft
soldering is the ticket to double bazooka success.

I Told him I might have some.
