Looks good Mark. I wouldn't want to drive more that a couple of yards with it though.

I have a homebrew screwdriver nearly built for Top Band to 10M. I just need to sort out the control switching and turns counter. I scrounged a piece of 4" OD copper tube off the guys who were putting the linear fire detectors and automatic firefighting equipment on one of the stations.

I ought to get my expensive (£15.00) PMR radio in my truck. 25W NBFM, 16 programmable channels and direct frequency entry on the keypad. I got it from a radio rally. Me, "How much?"
Vendor, "As it's an unknown quantity - £30.00."
Me, "As we don't know what it is, how about £10.00?"
Him, "£15.00."
Me, "Done."
Grinned all the way home because I knew what it was all the time. It's a little Icom IC-V200T. If it ever got nicked I wouldn' be losing too much.
