Surplus LM-400 Cable -- What to do?

About 15 years ago I had a Scantenna, connected by a 100ft length of LM-400 cable, way across the other side of my house because... that's just where it had to be (wife). :)

I remember I had it professionally made, so I'm pretty sure it's not crap.

Fast forward to today, I have this LM-400 cable up in my attic not being used.

Today, the furthest distance to my antenna array on my roof to my receivers is about 35ft. I'm using various grades of coax for those antennas.

I am receive only: I have nothing useful to say to the world.

Should I use said LM-400 for any of my antennas? Right now I have a Diamond discone jack-of-all-trades antenna (D130J), and log periodic 150Mhz - 960Mhz and a nice 700 - 950Hmz Yagi, both on a rotator.

The connectors on each end of this LM-400 are super clean and shiny. I'm just trying to decide if this length of LM-400 laying my attic is of any use in my situation.

Thanks for any insight, friends! :)

You can ship it to me.

Or, cut it at 35 feet, install a connector and have another almost 2 runs left.

Lol, message received.

I was wanting to avoid cutting it up. I don't have a proper crimper for it and I don't think it's cost effective to buy one just to deal with this one issue.
