For those of us who use our hands to create and repair masterpieces, I present from 1952, useful ideas!

The hand bender for pipes looks ideal for another little project some of us are getting into.

Looks like exciting stuff there  Wood_chop Reid.

While I is typing, local tip shop 2.0 opening soon under new management.

Location will be PM'ed, as it is a men's secret, and not many men frequent CB websites or radio.  Debilos-1

Coax a bit short? Need a way to extend it but don't have the dollars for a whole new run of LMR400?

Welcome to my brain. I solved my matter by buying a SWR meter...

The short end to the aerial will be mounted in the top of the SWR meter, and the return to the radio will be skinny dimmock stuff.

Great value, although the shipping was a bit pricey..

I should have delivery before this Friday  Debilos-1

Yeah the price on those SWR meters means you could buy a box of them and sell them to your "friends" for a huge profit!!  Debilos-1

4k ultra HD, Ill wait for super duper mega ultra HD I think... the resolution would be better than real life by then I reckon.  Wood_chop Confused2 Grandpa
