I think Steve, K7LXC, who sponsors this reflector sells it, or something
very similar. Seems like I got a roll of Scotch 23 (rubber splicing tape)
from him back in the day and I think it's basically the same as is used on
the StepIR.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Keith -
Where did you get the fusion tape (like on the SteppIR). When I put my
SteppIR together I was really impressed with the fusion tape, but can't find
a good supplier that sells it in a reasonable length, i.e., longer than 6ft
(Radio Shack) or less than huge amounts required as a minimum order by many
other suppliers.
