I still have enough supplies for 7 coils and several ground systems.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I have 7 coils ready to ship (they can be configured for inline, or on the side) and enough wire to build several ground systems.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>As a reminder, I will donate 10% of the rest of the years business to the Red Cross for Hurricane Relief.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>If you are interested in putting up an antenna this year and wish to purchase a coil or ground system, the time to ask for it is now.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>At this point in time I am not planning on building in 2006...and I am unsure if anyone else is doing this kind of work. I would take custom orders but these orders tend to get expensive if I don't have bulk material on hand.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I would like to thank all of my customers, many of whom read or post to this board, and everyone who contributed to my posts about part 15AM radio.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sincerely, Carl Van Orden, the Antenna Guy<P ID="signature">______________

Carl I hope you plan on being around in 2006, I know sales have been a little slow in your first year of promoting your antenna business, but the number of antennas you have sold is not bad for the first year. The part 15 AM community would be at a great loss without your antenna. Sales in 2006 should be much better as the Part 15 AM community continues to grow. I plan on opening a business for Part 15 broadcasters this spring, that will heavily promote Part 15 AM broadcasting and more, details to come.
Your business will pick up in 2006, You really should give it another year before you give it up.

We can't have the slugs of the world win this one.

I like the technical postings, but basically after all my experimentation I've got it down to a basic science regarding using sstran and like units.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I think in the future more people will do this for themselves, and that is fine. Like I said before, I'll be here for anyone who needs something built for them,and I appreciate all the kind words and feelings...some here and some from customers.<P ID="signature">______________
