BUXCOMM Amateur Radio parts, antenna parts to build your own, explanations, formulas on antennas. This is the most reasonable priced website for “stuff” builders and beginners on the internet.

Not because I pull any up there… he is just that way especially if you tell him you are new to Amateur Radio. http://www.buxcomm.com/
