Is there a shortage in the supply of coax ?


Yes, but all is not lost. You need to get the newst Ham in the
neighborhood and send him out for a coax stretcher. They come in handy
from time to time.

I have to admit I never found one in my neighborhood - but all the Hams
were very helpful and thought they knew who might be able to help me,
and sent me off to the person.

But, when the coax is stretched, what happens to the characteristic
impedance and the loss? [This is a (sort of) serious question!]
