If you check around surplus places, you will almost always find huge piles
of surplus multipair cable.  Look at it and see if you luck out and find
some with coax in it.  Sitex Radars had 10 different color pieces of coax
in one cable and usually surplus places are happy to get rid of the
few hundred feet real cheap as its rare people seem to want it.  Another
place to look is if you have an old snake.
