[NLRS] VB28FM EyeBolts??

[KBØNLY]

Same here, dug the hole myself, used tower (think I paid more for mine than 
yours though by far), fought weather and everyone's schedule to get it done, 
and had to take out a loan to buy all the coax and the 6m yagi..  No joke 
there..

What some of us will go through for this hobby!

Scott

PS: You would think a man could find something as simple as an eyebolt that 
is both stainless steel and has a inside eye diameter of 3/16", but 
noooooooo, nobody makes them, sells them, or even know what I am talking 
about when I call them.  Grrr... Once this antenna is done and up I swear to 
god I won't buy anything Hy-Gain again.  Now I wish I would have saved for 
another half year or whatever it would have taken to get the 10el Cushcraft 
from Universal for $89.95.  Try to save a few bucks after spending nearly 
$650 in the last couple months on stuff for the tower and take a swift kick 
in the rear doing so.
