[Boatanchors] Coax Stripping Tools

[David C. Hallam]

Rob,

These jumpers are for instrumentation rather than antenna feed line.  
They are for connections between my signal generator, phase lock 
frequency synchronizer, and frequency counter for receiver alignment, 
and noise figure measurements.  Actually, I will be converting my 
jumpers to RG-223 before starting any serious noise figure measurements.
