Brad, AA1IP, has come to the rescue and is offering Belden 1671A at prices SIGNIFICANTLY below cocaine levels. Thanks Brad!<\/p>\n

<\/span>Hello–<\/span>
In response to Bill’s plea on SolderSmoke #142 for an inexpensive<\/span> source of Belden 1671A semi-rigid coaxial cable, I can offer it<\/span> for sale at $.30 per foot in lengths up to 10 feet to 20 feet;<\/span> handling longer lengths is problematical, as I don’t have a<\/span> good wire-respooling method at present.<\/span> Postage and packaging for up to 10 feet of 1671A cable is<\/span> extra and costs $3.25 for shipping via first-class mail to<\/span> U.S. addresses (I honor PayPal and certain other payment methods).<\/span> Note that coaxial connectors for 1671A are available (but not<\/span> from me, alas). Also, the outer jacket of 1671A is best cut with<\/span> a fine-toothed coping saw or a miniature tubing cutter such as…<\/span> http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pit-Bull-Mini-Tubing-Cutter\/dp\/B0027BBHW0<\/span><\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

Questions welcomed as always.<\/span> 73–<\/span> Brad AA1IP<\/span> <\/p>\n

P.S.: the “Murphy’s Whiskers” Bill refers to are small pieces of copper <\/span> braid wire that break off from RG-174\/U (or other) coax braid and<\/span> cause intermittent short-circuits in whatever they fall into.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
