Thanks for the info, Nate.

I'd be interested in the hardline and other coax depending on price.

I'm still researching the antennas.

Not interested in the TS-940S and I'm NOT going to go read any review on it
lest I develop an interest in it!

But, I AM interested in the Elecraft XG3 -- is that tool worth the price?
I've read good things about it but just don't know how often I'd use one if
I had one.  Open to hearing more about it and it's uses, pros/cons, etc.
Used ones on eBay sure don't go cheap so they must have some real value....?

and yes, Dave, if you're reading this, I haven't forgotten that I need to
come by your place and pick up some coax......
