[ARC5] RCA AVA-120 Antenna Reel

[Craig]

David: When things are doing better around your place and you feel up to 
it, could I get the dimensions off the input fitting for the fairlead? 
That little piece was the final item I really needed to figure out the 
last of the the installation.?? I think that's only one I've ever seen, 
even though I've played with L-5's since the early 80's. I'm working up 
a set of drawings for the reels and all the installation information for 
those of us that play with the L-Birds. Drawings will of course be 
available to the Arc5 group as well, as soon as I can get them finished 
up.?? Work and household work have disrupted the play time for a bit...
