[Waverley ARS] Copper flex for antenna use

[Colin Marks]

Derek
This sounds a very useful acquisition for the Club - especially if it is 
really "flexible" flex. The non-flexible type (especially if "hard-drawn") 
which kinks easily can be awkward to use. However even if not fully flexible 
it would no doubt be good quality and very useful - especially for anyone 
who wants to install an 80m rhombic (who doesn't?).
