Only 3 bugs found so far; 1) Netherlands didn&#8217;t have any shipping options and&#160; 2) USA between 12kg and 20kg couldn&#8217;t get a shipping quote! All fixed now and it seems to be working. Right now, we&#8217;re sorting this [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Coax Transmission line coax stubs are frequency dependent. Making a stub for one frequency means it WILL NOT work for another frequency. My example is for a 20m Resonant Feedline Dipole, sometimes called a Sleeve Dipole or Resonant Coax Dipole or Tuned Choked Coax Dipole. So you have an approx 75 ohm impedance antenna and you want [&#8230;]]]></description>
