Thanks Steve for the Wal-Mart report. The wife and I are going Wal-Marting tonight. That is one Sterilite model # away from what Kevin used on his plans (1692). The dimmensions are just a hair different, is all that I can see (plus the 1692 can interlock / stock with another). I'll see if they have one in-stock.
I can not believe the mean spirited comment earlier today about the Crate Loop and Kevin's wonderful offer. Man that was rude! True enough it may be near 100 year old technology but what hobby doesn't feature "making the old into something new again?"

It's a Sterilite #1693, found in the stationery section. They had two colors, green and red. Once I dig up some wire and a variable cap, I'll wind a "Kevin Crate Loop" and check out how it works, maybe even measure the Q (I have an HP4342A Q meter.....). I think Kevin's "Crate loop kit" is an excellent idea, and saves one from having to find the parts. If I didn't have the parts on hand, or know where to obtain them, I'd be buying one of his kits.
