Al Harbach, WA4DRU, has had some very serious medical problems. Recovery
may take a while.
FYI, he designed the saddles, paid for the tooling used in the castings,
selected the alloy and located a supplier willing to make relatively small
lots. He has a substantial investment in the tooling.
He also searched diligently for the lowest cost suppliers for U bolts,
clamps and other hardware offered. He has to make a big investment in
inventory in order to sell for the prices he charges.
During the next several weeks I expect that he will be re-evaluating the
whole business, which BTW, he does as a hobby and a service to fellow
builders.
I am not in contact with Al nor his family. I made these remarks based on
having had a lot of personal conversations with him at the various ham
gatherings, where we discussed his ideas and designs while sharing the
contents of various bottled elixirs.
