While we are on this thread, does anyone know of any company that will repair Bird Elements?

  Group,


    Bird is still very much in business. I drove past their building in Solon, Oh this past week as I suffered a cold on a "vacation."

    Now the matter of if they will do business with the small guy is anybody's guess. However, Coaxial Dynamics, also out of Cleveland, will talk with a ham - and all their elements fit a good old Bird 43.

  They did exhibit at the Dayton hamfest in recent years.

    Sandy;

    I don't know about the status of the Bird Corporation. I can tell you that I 
    contacted them twice in the last couple of years and received no  response 
    either time. Seems that at least they don't care about the "Small Fish". If 
    anyone learns the status, please let the rest of us know.

    Harold
