Gordy Fred Marks may think he is going to do a IPD receiver.  It may take him quite some time to do it the same as Multiplex.  Just goes to show you, A) Fred sees a great idea and has to steel it. B) He can only copy not create.  C) Just as you point out he does not know how the stuff is us

I use magnet wire, wrapped on the outside of the boom, secured with single wraps of #600 tape every 8" or so. Never a problem. - Original Message - From: "D Hauch/ D Unruh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 10:37 PM Subject: [RCSE] antenna/carbon
