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.
