[Lowfer] LowFER Grabber and Converter

[Charlie , W5COV]

I have been following along here , since I am looking to make a more 
permanent part 15 LowFER antenna for this season .

Today I was on the auction place and decided to order a set of these :

160530378014

Looks like they will do the job just fine and the price is better than 
anything metal that I have been able to locate .

Usual disclaimer , no financial interest , just something that looks like it 
will fit the bill for me .
