Someone asked if there was anything new on display at Dayton.  One 
thing that looked intriguing to me was the new rotor being offered by 
C.A.T.S.  It is a very clean looking job, to be available this June. 
I believe it is rated at 25 sq. ft. and is priced right somewhere 
between $500 & $600.  The jaws on this rotor are massive and should 
not be sensitive to breaking like others I've seen.

I also saw the dual driven 30 and 40 meter antennas being distributed 
by WX0B.  They look very interesting as well, showing gain and F/B 
nearly equal to a full size 3 element yagi, with a shorter boom and 
only two elements.

Lot's of other stuff on display, but these were the most interesting to me.
