[Elecraft] Another source for "Anderson PowerPole" type connectors

[Jim Sheldon]

Thanks for setting me straight Mike.  A friend pointed me to the Mouser
catalog.  He also gave me a handful of the 45 amp ones and I'll test them
against my "real" Anderson ones from PowerWerx.  Since the article you refer
was written by Tom Hammond, N0SS, I have no doubt they are inferior.  I
personally know and trust Tom, and anything he says can usually be taken as
gospel.

Thanks again -- I've passed along the article to my friend as well.
Hopefully his find doesn't come back to "bite" him hi hi.
