Good idea. I have also used Bobby Pins that you find at Wal-Mart or Dollar General. I got a 100 for a buck. Lee - K0WA _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com f

I believe they are "ground cloth" staples. Not at all expensive. At least I hope not as we used them by the hundreds for landscaping around the yard. The ones we use are about an inch across a relat

I just did this for my 1/4 wave 40 meter verticle. I was even cheaper than cheap. I got some #12 galvanize wire from the local hardware store. I paid pennies for 15 to 20 feet of the stuff. Hardware

I made staples by hundreds (5000 feet of radials) recently. I purchased a few spools of baling wire from HD, cut 8 inch pieces, and after they were all cut, bent them around pencil one winter evening
