[TowerTalk] Heat shrink Tubing-- Thanks, all

[Bill Aycock]

To all who responded-- Thanks.
The 8 posts received by now (one of you posted twice)- I want to thank 
you. All posts were pertinent and helpful; There was little about sizes 
for the smaller stuff, but the source data made that immaterial. I have 
a good start and have ordered some samples.
I find that I have more time than I had expected. I found that, to fold 
my tower, I need to cut a couple of maple limbs that have grown an 
unexpected amount.
Thanks-- Bill--W4BSG
