All of you might already be aware of this source, but in case some of you
might not be, here is an excellent source for coax cable. It is 

 

JEFA Tech, Inc.

I just purchased their Low Loss 400 (LL400) 52 ohm coax for .59 per foot.
You can purchase whatever lengths you need, and they will even put the
PL-259 fittings on the ends for you. You can buy it by the reel or by the
foot. The reels come in reels of 500 and 1000 feet. I also like the point
that all of their cable is made right here in the United States. I don't
mean to offend any of our good friends outside the U.S., but when I make
that statement, I am thinking of some really bad coax I purchased once
before that was produced in China, and the center conductor was brittle and
broke easily, and the braided shield was extremely poor, and it was very
lossy. I ended up tossing it all away and purchasing all new coax from the
Wireman. The coax from the Wireman is very good coax, but it cost about 20
cents per foot more than the coax from Jefa Tech, and the coax from Jefa
Tech actually has a lower loss per foot figure. 

 

If I'm shareing information everyone here is already aware of, I apologize.
I just have never heard anyone on this list mention Jefa Tech before. Our
local ham club purchases all of its cable from them.
