Pete,
I have a 70' to 100' piece of Andrew 7/8 heliax. It has a connector on one end and cut off at the other. It's from the remains of my late 120' tower and was used for the W4MR RF packet cluster.
It's yours free for pickup at my house in Apex. There are also five or six other runs of 9913, RG213, etc. size coax approx. 50-70' (some with connectors) if you or any other club members can use them.
These are in my backyard in Apex. Im at the beach. Help yourself...
73,
Will AA4NC
