73, Stan WB2LQF An effective but truly inelegant method is to run a screw through a wingnut. You may need to file the screwhead a bit to reduce the diameter or file clearance for the screwhead on the wingnut. If you use brass components, a little solder will preclude loosening of the wingnut from the screw. Less awful is to use an Allen socket-head screw and the little plastic "thingies" (hi!) that press over the tops and convert the Allen head screws into thumbscrews. The DC-to-Gamma Rays antenna was a dipole marketed under the "MaxRad" name. Many years ago, "miracle" antenna was a derogatory term used in the phrase: "If it works, it is a miracle." On this side of the pond, "Miracle Whip" is the trade name for a mayonnaise substitute marketed by Kraft Foods. Of all the brands of alkaline batteries I've used in gear, with the exception of no-name Chinese "hamfest specials" the worst are Ray-O-Vac which I've had leak in their unopened packaging.. years away from the expiration date.
