[Elecraft] Cable provider recommendation

[Joel Black]

While I can speak for no one else, I answered his question, "Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that would make a custom coax cable?”

I didn’t ask him why (not my business).

Regards,
Joel - W4JBB

I have made many cables for other hams - locally and on the Internet - mostly for disabled hams who cannot solder for themselves. Shoot, I even taught an old blind ham to make his own cables using crimp connectors (he asked, but I lack the confidence to teach him how to solder . . . )

Shoot, maybe he can send me the parts and return postage and I can make it for him.  BTW, I work for bourbon . . .     :-)
