[TowerTalk] 40M rotary dipole

[Jim Brown]

Hi Dave,

$17 is a rip-off price for a 2.4-in #31 core, which costs the 
distributor less than $5. Best prices on Fair-Rite parts are from 
industrial distributors, NOT ham distributors. This more recent pdf 
includes detailed buying advice.  See pages 9 and 10.

It might work out that I could make a large purchase and offer kits of toroids to the group.  I’m not looking to make money.  I only want to have a good choke at the lowest price I can find.
