[AMRadio] screwdriver antenna

[Mark Foltarz]

Larry,
Yup, I got mine from Don also. Good guy to deal with. Antenna works well. 
Really easy to tune up. I just use an S meter out of the window and adjust for
a peak reading.

By the way, what kind of boot did you use for making the moving coil part a bit
more weatherproof?

tnx
