Somehow, by a stroke of unusually good luck for me, I came across James' web site a couple of weeks ago, which was last updated at the end of 2014.
The helix in its 1980s heyday - together with the copper element of kit 170 - the last one - ready for assembly. |
After a few e-mails, I found James still had the kit for a 16-turn antenna. Being over 3m long, there was no way that would work at this hurricane-infested QTH. So, the 9-turn kit arrived yesterday, in 3 packages, leaving me with a fair bit of careful assembly to get on with one rainy day.
So, a big thanks to James for selling me Number 170 - The Last Helix.
