[TowerTalk] Re. Phillystran

[AA6DX]

Query .. back in `84-85 and like that, ham dealers would carry Phillystran,
and have on hand a kit that would "pot" the connectors, so that they could
fabricate the lengths required for the job at hand.  Is that still an
option, or did that system prove unreliable, or .. what?
73 ... Mark, AA6DX
