Sorry, I finally noticed that your box wants to be on the 100-watt
end of things.

Make that RG303 instead. There are scrap lengths on eBay here and
there, do a search for RG303 .

Also - there may be better relays than those. There have been several
threads go by on the subject, do a list archive search on "RF Relay".

The best deal a casual Google search turned up was RG393 at $13.20/foot 
from Tessco:

I saw 139 feet on eBay, but it was outrageously priced.
