[Boatanchors] Cobraheads?

[Philip Atchley]

Hi all,

This was also sent to the antenna list.

When I was in the Air Force ('62-'82) we often used what we called a 
"Cobrahead" to make HF dipole antennas.  They were nice in that they 
provided a center hanger support for the dipole as well as gripping the 
RG-8 Coax and made a weather tight connection seal.

Later this month I'd like to try to get one or two.  Is there a good 
source for these in the "civilian world", and if so, what is a typical 
price?  I suspect that the price is probably "out of this world" 
though.  Kind of like the toilet seats that NASA buys 8^(
