[OKDXA] Gary - Parts for Hexbeam

[Jeff Martin]

Gary & Mark,
   I went out to the garage and measured the spreader pieces. All three 
sizes of the KIO hexbeam spreaders  are 48 inches long... Gary, you can 
probably figure out what you need and where you want to get it. Mark can 
probably help you if you want it quick... Good Luck with it, hope its 
not too torn up...

73,
Jeff - K5WE
