There are several others; probably Talley, Tessco, Texas Towers, AES, & HRO may
have some as well.

Jim:
After reviewing the above link (and downloading it), it seems quite obvious
that I have one hell of a lot of work to do.
Can you suggest a source for flat wide copper "tape" ?
And for copper braid, other than from old coax? (I suspect braid from old
coax will not be wide enough, and if it is corroded, the individualy strands of
copper may be insulated from one another.)
So....it appears that my moving that useless 30+ feet of #8 "ground" wire DID
reduce my local noise level by a good 10 dB.
I would never have thought of that in a million years.
