I looked at the description of the 125 ft and 50 ft of that 125 is lead-in
wire.

Radio Shack (now The Source in Canada) still sells this kit for about $25
CDN.

As you probably know, every part of the lead-in that isn't coax, is
still antenna.

Loop The Loop is one of the best Songs ever.From boot camp at Fort
Gordon,Georgia I went to Augusta and caught a Train to
Belleville,Illinois.It was the first part of January,1963,.The
Belleville,Illinois Train Stations sound system was playing Loop The
Loop.I was waiting on the Scott Air Force Base,Illinois bus,it was at
about midnight.
Some Songs,you never forget.

A hundred feet of old rusty barbed wire will do even better.

- As you probably know, every part of the lead-in that isn't coax,

- - - PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EBAY AUCTION IS OVER - - -
But as always - the 'fun' continues . . .

BpnJ - Yeah But ! - "The Yellow Jacket is a 100' THHN #12 Copper
With a Sunlight UV Resistant Inner Jacket and PCV Outter Jacket."
( { [ It's really, Really. REALLY ! Insulated ] } )

PLUS - Static Protection is Incorporated Right At The Feed Point,
{Note} The Receiiver MUST BE EARTH GROUNDED
For The Protection Circuit To Work Properly.

WHAT ? - HOW THE STATIC PROTECTION CIRCUIT WORKS:
A 10,000 volt DC Blocking Cap is In-Line Which STOPS DC Static From
Reaching The Receiver. A Bleed-Off Resistor Takes The Static Build-Up
Safely To Ground, BUT in The Event The Build-Up is Faster Then The
Resistor Can Bleed It Off, A 90 Volt Fast Acting Flash Tube Kicks-In
And Pulls The Antenna Instantly To Ground. The DC Blocking Cap Can
Withstand 10,000 Volts, But The Flash Tube Will Never Allow The Charge
On The Antenna To Exceede 90 Volts, So There Is Plenty Of Head Room!

OBTW - Not mentioned in the in the description is the fact that
the Antenna's lead-in-wire is "Black" {Can we say "Stealth"}
- - - This could be the same type of Black-Wire used in
those famous Black Helocopters by the mysterious MIB.

THE FINAL WORD{S} - "This Is Not A Toy!"


and that ought to count for something ) - iane ~ RHF
