2010-02-03 Thread Pete Klapp
Netters I found something that I can use for the lower half of my comm dipole. I checked numerous archery and hobby shops and no one carries fiberglas arrow shafts anymore, only graphite or carbon fiber. Wicks showed it in their 2009 catalog, but have since dropped it from their inventory.

KR> Intake

2010-02-03 Thread Dan Heath
