[TowerTalk] U-Bolt Sources

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Several people have suggested DXE, and not finding what I needed 
elsewhere, I went through DXE's ordering process.  Shipping and handling 
would have been more than the price of the single u-bolt clamp I really 
needed, so I went on Amazon and bought a galvanized version, which will 
be here tomorrow with free shipping  (yes, Prime is worth it for me).  
It seems to me, in general, that DXE's pricing for smaller items is way 
out of line.  For example, their baluns are double the price of the 
identical units offered by Balun Designs - I braced one of their sales 
people about this specific case at Dayton, and (imagine this!) I got no 
explanation worthy of the name (he said "they must not be making any 
money on them"!).
