Hi Lee and the multitudes....

"A Kelly's Blue Book on used elements"..... the thought boggles the mind.
Wow!  The start of a new industry for the twentieth century.  I can just see
the ads now.... "USED ANTENNA ELEMENTS....only slightly worn during the last
few hurricanes.... DX certified bore.... plenty of air-mileage still left in
this set of pipes.... only used on Sundays for the missonary nets....
friendly pigeon coated... WILL  SHINE UP NICELY FOR THE NEXT CQ WW
CONTEST....is there no end?

Roger, K2JAS
