Last night, I found myself paging throught the April QST classifieds. Here are a few of the URLs I found interesting:
- www.anthonywelsh.com: Sells an odd assortment of stuff, including keys and paddles, capacitors, tubes, and oil paintings. Yes, I said oil paintings.
- www.digifield.com: Sells the Digi-Field Field Strength Meter. The meter has a digital readout, and they claim a bandwidth of DC to 12 GHz, but it seems kind of expensive at $219.
- recradioswap.com: This seems to be yet another ham radio classifieds website. Unfortunately, there’s hardly anything for sale here. The only categories with more than 2 or 3 items are the accessories categories, and these have mostly old Motorola stuff in them.
- www.TMastCo.com: I was hoping to find a source of aluminum tubing for antenna projects. Instead, the main product of this company is a set of military surplus masting tubes. They also sell telescoping fiberglass poles that look like a decent deal. A 22-ft., heavy duty (whatever that means) pole is $45.
- www.radiofinder.com: Joel Thurtell, K8PSV is the Radio Finder, and this site is devoted to his business of buying and selling boat anchors. It’s a very interesting site.
- www.callbook.com: Apparently a German company has purchased the rights to produce the callbook, and they plan to produce both a CD version and a printed version. The CD is already shipping; the printed version is to be available May 2003.
- www.powerwerx.com: PowerWerx sells a bunch of accessory-type stuff, but specializes in kits consisting of RigRunner, 12V distribution panels and the Anderson PowerPole connectors and power cable to go along with them. If you buy the kit, you save a few bucks over the piece prices.
- www.edromney.com: Ed Romney self-publishes a bunch of books on camera repair and a single volume on antique radio repair. It’s a bit hard to find on the website, and imho, kind of expensive at $35 a pop.
