[BC] Re:1 5/8 foam coax

[Gary Glaenzer]

perhaps their thinking was:

'It works, and works well, why replace it ?'

Now, may I ask a question ?

Why the constant bashing of older transmitters, Robert ?

It is obvious that you prefer the 'latest and greatest' in transmitters, but
why the constant griping about folks who use, either by choice or economic
concerns, something that is 'old' ?
