[HCARC] FW: AC4CA's XYL Replacer (Spinning Reel Holder)

[Marilyn Vordenbaum]

I hope Jacquie gets to read the comment from Gale.  I have been a "helper" 
several times.  There is a certain way to do the deal when assisting a real 
ham.  When we first married and K5HV would climb the tower I would stand on 
the ground with cell in hand ready to call 911.  Now I just listen for a 
"thud".  I learned he really did know what he was doing.
