Re: New Antenna for the FT-817 and other QRP portables...

when the whole thing was so obviously a joke at the expense of
gullibility, wishful thinking, and overly-high expectations.
Very well done for a joke.!!!
I can not vouch for the availability or legitimacy of the product.
Guys, guys. I don't believe it is a joke. Go read the info at the
pages. They have photos of the gadget. It's much too much trouble and
work and expense to be a joke.
If they really have come up with a variable transformer that does
tune all that range, then it's a fan-bloody-tastic breakthrough. Are
we all too clever or cynical? Are you all going to tell me I'm too
gullible or stupid? Laws of physics, etc...
I emailed this "lebloke@..." and this is what I got back:

"Hi there David...
We're not quite yet set up to "take the plastic" but how's this...
We'll accept equivalent payment in aussie dollars (exchanging is no
problem for us here - we're Canadian, remember...)
We'll ship to you airmail for 10.00 additional (our normal charge
is 8.00 to north america)
Comes to 89.95 - as I read the exchange rates, ($1 AUS = .52 US)
that's about $172.00 AUS. Please let me know if I'm way off on these
rates.
Drop me an email with your full address, tell me you're putting
your Australian dollars check in the (air) mail, and we'll ship to
you the moment your check arrives..
Hows that..?
Hope we get to send you one. Thanks for your interest and good
comments.
Regards - 73
