Hi

Cable is free.

Connectors cost a fortune.

Get the connectors *on* the cable when you visit the scrap yard if at all
possible. Playing with improvised connectors can be tough on aluminum out in
the rain.

Well just to get the conversation really going. In the US we have a store
called home depot and they and others carry TV antenna splitters with DC
pass through on one leg good to 2.5 Ghz for about $10. Been using one for at
least 2-3 years works just fine.
Certainly this is evil and suspect I will here about it. But it sure works.
Additionally I use 75 ohm TV coax cable from the tower to my systems some 50
odd feet. This is 1/2" hardline very low loss. Available from cable tv
companies for $0.
So my hole feed system is 75 ohm with a swr of about 1.4-1 due to the
impedance mismatch.
Pretty darn good.
Good luck
