[Mobile-Portable] Webster Bandspanner Info

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Somebody has already stated that 5 footers are
available through Tarheel antennas.  WB0W is
a stocking dealer for Tarheel stuff.
 
One other possibility might be from Henry Allen,
(K5BUG) the Texas Bugcatcher man.  He retired
after 30 years in business back in October, but
he MIGHT have some remaining stock.  Try email at:
 
info at texasbugcatcher.com

73 - Mac, K2GKK/5
(Since 30 Nov 53)
Oklahoma City, OK
 
p.s.  I also have a bunch of Henry's stuff, too.
