[MRCA] free pile!

[Ray Fantini]

Was thinking of throwing some stuff on the truck for Gilbert and maybe do a "Free" stack of stuff for anyone who wants it for up at Gilbert. Being I don't want to drag any of this crap back want to be certain that someone may want this stuff. First I have a bunch of 75 Ohm coaxial cables. Some BNC to BNC, some BNC to UHF others that are mixed but all RG-59, the migration from analog video to digital video required me to change out every video cable at  a couple TV Transmitter sites so I have lots  of old video cables that are good but more then I will ever need. Already gave away lots of them for people to use as test jumpers and the like but still have a couple boxes full. Also have a lot of RG-213 cables with N connectors on one end but the other end is chopped off. And I have a lot of multi conductor cables that were used as control cables. Some twenty four pair twisted others just lots of colored wires. That was all used for remote control functions for switchers, transmitters and processing equipment. It's good to strip and use for jumper and interconnect cables. Most are ten to thirty feet gray PVC jacket and heavy so unless someone wants some won't drag out.
The last dozen years or so have been a real upheaval in the broadcasting industry, first the end of Analog and the need to get rid of all that stuff and now with the UHF re-pack have ended up replacing and having to get rid of all the first generation digital transmitters resulted in an almost never ending stream of cables, wire and now transmitters that need to go! All the big Belden multi conductor cables that we paid so much for back in the day to go between transmitters, power supplies, remote control systems and cooling pump controllers are now replaced by simple network cables. The day of the huge multi core cable are thru.
