my 160m 4 square array,
I was given a quote for 4 phasing lines of 75 ohm Beldon cable at 84 % VF.. cut for 1.840mhz with PL259's fitted to one end..es free delivery..
Ok sent monie,
Then a couple of days later "he" wants another $150 bucks said copper inner cable is dearer then he quoted!! ok..
Next fone call "he" will send the roll as "he" cant roll it out to cut.. wotever!! gett'n pizzed off by now but;
Now "he" wants another $20 for freight..Really pizzed off now!!
So instead of getting 4 phasing lines cut for 1.840Mhz with PL259's fitted on one end,FREIGHT INCLUDED.. for $450..as quoted..
I will get a roll of coax cable 75 OHM 84% VF "THAT" I have to cut,measure to length es dip for VF factor, solder on PL259's es pay for freight when it's delivered..cost of $620..

Gee I must be DUMB!!
