    Homebrew of a Different Kind

    Sometimes, at least when I was roughnecking, the only thing between poverty and a payday was the ingenuity it took to keep some of the antique equipment we ran going. It was a hard life and hard work, but my, how proud we all were of ourselves and each other. We had one abiding rule, "can't get...

    Solarcon MAX OPTIMZER The Ultimate 10-11 Meter Base Antenna
