[DX-CHAT] Coax
Any suggestions on where to get good coax at a reasonable price without waiting 5 weeks for Dayton? Preferably Beagle-proof? The puppy destroyed my spliced in section today... and dug up and chewed up most of the ~60' RG8X run. I am not a happy camper. My daughter has pleaded for mercy, so I haven't done something unmentionable to the pup... yet. (I have decided, though, that Lucy's last name must have been Fur before... think about it) I may have enough laying around to do a temporary replacement (and it's going to be placed on the OUTSIDE of the fence this time... I kept it at ground level to keep it stealth, I never figured on this!) which would make this a moot point. If not, then I have to decide whether to get a temporary fix (RadioWorks has a nice deal on-line on a 100' section of RG-8X with connectors for under $30) and wait for Dayton, or just bite the bullet get something done now. I'm just so used to shopping at Dayton or at the Breezeshooter's hamfest for coax needs that I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to start looking. Yes, you can find coax everywhere, but until you get your hands on it, you don't always know what you're buying and how much it truly is. So much for N8S. I wonder if I'll even get a shot at BS7H this time around? Maybe someone is trying to tell me something... And, no, I can't afford 50 ohm hardline right now. Tempting as it is. Any suggestions welcome. 73, ron w3wn Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

There's a mirror site listed on the N8S site, and it seems to work FB. John K5MO Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

RE: [DX-CHAT] Coax
Consensus seems to be the Wireman, so I'll look into that. But in a close second is the Radio Works, I'll look into that too. I'm strongly considering the RW cable as a hold until Dayton -- yes, I just did my taxes! g The suggestions on punishment for the dog were, ah, interesting, but I don't think my daughter will let me. There are also laws against some of those in this state! I just can't put temptation back in her reach -- or the replacement coax within reach of her jaws, that's for sure! Oh -- KQ3DX has tentatively offered me emergency loan of his shack, hopefully on Saturday, to take a shot at N8S. Considering things, I'd rather have done it from home, but my choices (and time) are limited. Of course, the was things are going, I hope I don't bring disaster down on his head! Now, if anyone needs some short sections of unchewed RG-8X, let me know! 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ron Notarius W3WN Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 6:58 PM To: DX Chat Reflector Subject: [DX-CHAT] Coax Any suggestions on where to get good coax at a reasonable price without waiting 5 weeks for Dayton?

For some unknown reason the squirrels found the RG8-X far more delicious and did significantly more damage to it than to the other cables. Therefore you are apparently guilty for serving up such a tempting morsel.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Coax
My dog chewed a little bit on some LMR-400... no cheap deal I think he smelled my hand prints on it because it was just laying in a coil ... not buried not connected And, yes there is no permissable punishment for puppy. 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Need a break?
