I also bought some of that HOME DEPOT gar=bage a couple of years ago for a project not related to ham radio. When I used it outside to guy a palm tree, it was rusting in a couple of months. Not sure
Yeah....that would really BUG me too Steve. - Mike, K4CVL (...how you doing?...) I had an A3W up which went south on me in terms of SWR. Tested everything to no avail. The problem occurred after a si
