    When Marconi shut down their Poole R&D site (where I then worked) vast amounts of electrical bits and bobs were going straight into a skip (an almost criminal waste of equipment, some of it looked like it could have been quite valuable to me), and I was given permission to rescue a handful of items - so I got a few reels of cable.

    Anyway, all that's left is a big old reel of Belden 9248 RG-6 75Ohm coax cable sitting in my loft taking up space. I tried making some interconnects out of it but thought they sounded harsh. Anyone got any great ideas for uses?

    P.S. If anyone wants to have some then I can post lengths of it at postage cost - the reel was originally 152m (500ft) and there must be at least half of it left!

    I don't have any spiffing ideas but would like to collect it if there are no other takers! Seems a shame to toss it away when at the very least my brother needs a new aerial downlead...

    La toilette - can you email me ([email protected]) so I can arrange pick-up? - I'm in central Bath BTW
