Is that a bulk cable, or pre-made lengths?  Just so I know what to look for.

Thanks Don.

The cable comes in pre-made lengths, connectors attached

I recall seeing 25, 50 and 100 foot lengths at Menards and Lowes. Menards (as usual) was significantly cheaper.

Here's a shot of the packaging:

What are the dimensions for both of the E-field boards?

I notice in the latest manual on Pg27, Fig 26 (right-side image) the two boards appear to be connected via a F-male to F-male connector (no coax used). That is what I am going to do when my kit arrives. I am planning on using a smaller 3/4" or so PVC pipe to hold the vertical antenna wire and then using an adapter tie that to a 3/4" to ???-inch lower section of PVC that will hold the larger E-field amp board. That's why I need the dimensions of both boards.
