I made a recommendation for a private party (KG5CCI). You didn't see it
because I'd mistakenly hit 'reply' instead of 'reply all'.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Cable provider recommendation

Perhaps I missed it, but I did not see a single recommendation for a
ham-built cable.  Do hams no longer make cables?  It seems a simple task.  I
have made many cables for other hams - locally and on the Internet - mostly
for disabled hams who cannot solder for themselves. 
Shoot, I even taught an old blind ham to make his own cables using crimp
connectors (he asked, but I lack the confidence to teach him how to solder .
. . )

I am NOT being snarky or dissing anyone suggesting a commercial outfit -
merely wondering where all the DIY hams are, and why nobody suggested he
contact his local club or repeater crowd for a leg up from a local guy. 
Shoot, maybe he can send me the parts and return postage and I can make 
it for him.  BTW, I work for bourbon . . .     :-)

It is a plug-n-play world I guess.  K8JHR
