Hi Kent,

No, I'm  a cheapskate.  I got mine from NA4RR.  On the other hand, Jim 
KY2D has more money to spend, and he got his from K4KIO.  Mine seems to 
have survived a pretty rough winter and I've been pleased with the 
purchase.

Of course there are other ones out there, so do your research and good 
luck if you go this route.

73, Steve KW3A
