There was also some mention of shortage of the open wire\twinlead type.

Is it just this place or is there some shortage in the US of coax and antena
wire.
What about the other coax such as the rg8 size ?

I ran in to the same thing last August at the Huntsville, Al. hamfest-
no 450 ohm open wire line. The high cost of copper prohibits them
from keeping too much inventory on hand. Apparently not much has
changed since August.
