This is a great device and I would like to buy it. Does anyone have the telephone number for Tower Jack in Baton Rouge, LA or know the web-site (if there is one?). Does anyone know the current cost?
Thanks to all who responded. I guess if I had the time to read QST I would know that these products were in the October QST product review HI HI! I called towerjack at 800-242-0130 and spoke with Ken
I am in the process of making up feedlines for some monobanders that I am putting up and have come across a vexing problem with the MFJ-259. Here's what happens... I measure an odd multiple of 1/2 wa
