Hmmm. The part numbers are in Appendix One of my tutorial, which also 
lists known good vendors. Part numbers are also easy to find in 
Fair-Rite's excellent on-line catalog. But I guess that someone who is 
too mentally lazy to look those up deserves to be ripped off. Just like 
someone who doesn't want to be bothered studying the ARRL Handbook or 
ARRL Antenna book to learn how antennas work deserves to be ripped off 
by those selling "magic" solutions.
