Speaking of TT making stuff... making dipoles this weekend...
I hope they still produce the TenTec Acrobat antenna center insulator.
I like these for quick and easy dipole construction using either window
line or coax transmission. You can also use window line as the antenna
elements. I see Jetstream uses them on their G5RV antennas. I think
they still cost only $10 (+/-) and they work swell.
If we all purchased some colored rubber rings, a bunch of Acrobat
insulators, rope, end insulators, connectors, coax, and similar jazz,
it would be a minor financial boost and mean less stuff they will have
to move to the new facility. Not going to save the company, but it
couldn't hurt... ;-)
I have been working with an Elecraft guy to see if the TT rubber rings
will work on his custom knob - sent him a sample last week. It would be
ironic to have TT rings on Elecraft knobs. Why not! Its all good.
