[TowerTalk] Source for Polyrod

[Jeff Blaine]

This product line was sold by polygon to another company.

I talked to polygon and the new company (I forget the name) and there seemed 
to be no one at the new company who knew what the fate of the product line 
was.  The new company is pretty small.  Further and importantly, the new 
company seemed to have no idea of how to roll the stock for transportation. 
After a few weeks of chasing it back and forth, I gave up.

At one point Stan K5GO talked about offering it in mid sized amounts but I 
don't know if he had worked out the supply chain or not.  He may have taken 
it further than I did as I'm sure he would be dealing with more volume than 
the 1000' size I was looking for at the time.

This is the outfit that W3LPL, K4JA and others have used.  Once upon a
time, they were very decent about relatively small group buys and, IIRC,
shipping parts of a buy to more than one address.
