I expect to haul my K3, P3, powerwerx and a RadioSport headset for SSB, as in last year. I've got a partial spool of Times MicrowaveLM400, but I need to put UHF connectors on it, and unroll it to determine its length. I think it is about 80-90ft or so. I'll measure the length and let you know. At least I already have the $20 no-solder connectors for it.
