[TowerTalk] coaxial stripper

I bought a coax stripper at Radio Shack but haven't used it yet. It does 
RG6/59 cables.  It looks similar to the stripper made for TV coax.  It is 
made by Magnavox and I forget what it cost. My neighborhood Radio Shack 
tells me that all the Radio Shack stores are going to be more friendly 
toward geeks and are stocking more electronic parts and tools and such. 
Apparently Radio Shack's friendliness in this respect waxes and wanes and 
we're now on an upswing.
