I made one out of an old (shot) bearing that came with my tower (I got it free for taking it down) and a few pieces of stranded heavier gauge copper wire. The bearing was for a mast I don't use, so I was able to mount it on the very top of my tower since it already had the mount for it there.

Thanks Scottie. Long term margin target is 45%. Remember, that that is gross, not net. No one is getting rich here and this quarter marks a return to GAAP profitability after a long, long fight back up from the dotcom bust. We still have a ways to go to reach our goal of 10% operating profit.
