TOm,
THank you for the shopping list. I did get the crimp tool and it is the one you referenced. I will be going to see him on Tuesday and I was referred to him by a local Ham as well. He really is a nice person and very willing to explain things.
I forgot RS sold mast bits and the like. I thought perhaps they got out of selling that type of thing since all they seem to carry are cell phones, satellite radio/TV, and batteries. grin
