I remember that stuff; used to have a bunch of it but threw
it out a few years ago. I looked around the local area for
some after you mentioned this a while back, but came up
empty handed. Finally I discovered most of the stuff I'd
already tried without success will fit if it's put in the
freezer for an hour. :)
I got distracted today, but hopefully I will get this
antenna finished and tested tomorrow. If this works like I
think it will I'll be building a few more.
