[TowerTalk] Stainless Steel Stuffing

[WA3GIN in King George, VA]

...at Home Depot yesterday I saw stainless steel link catchers for washing 
machine rinse water drains.  They looked like they would fill a 1.5"ID. 
They came two to a package.  For the fella that was looking for this type 
stuff to place inside his boom, etc.  The cost was about $2. per package of 
two.
