Lou,

I've always gotten great prices and good quality coax from R&l electronics, 
but they do charge for shipping.

Did the lightning get in to any of your equipment?  When lightning hit 
either my tower or the power line about 30 years ago, it took out things all 
over the house including a two meter fm rig and its power supply, the 
directional pot in my rotor at the top of my tower, but not the rotor 
control box it was hooked to, but didn't take out my low band rig or our tv 
which were hooked to antennas.  But, it did take out our garage door opener 
at the other  end of the house.  Lightning is unpredictable and dangerous 
energy!

My G5RV was destroyed in a severe thunder storm yesterday, so I'd like some
opinions on the best place to buy good quality RG8X coax so I can get
something back up.  I had an order in with the wireman for another project
but they were out of stock and, after waiting for a month and a half, I've
decided to look elsewhere.  Thanks.  lou Lou Kolb Voice-over Artist:
