[MRCG] GRC-9 and BC-1306

[Tim]

The grill on mine is made from 1/4 inch rod.  I think Orchard Supply may
carry it - I have made antennas from their stock - 1/4 inch sounds like
what I probably used...  Granger probably has it if necessary...

Yep, bending it will produce cracking but heating it up with a propane
torch at the bend will get its attention...

Take some photos along the way!! 73, Tim
