[TowerTalk] Help Needed for my First Tower --Coax Grounding

[Richard Solomon]

I have 8 never used Grounding Kits for Coaxial Cable (their title), that
will fit
anything from 1/2" up. Made by Radio Frequency Systems (but look a lot like
Andrew).

I posted them here some time ago, but got no interest. Any interest now ??
