Re: [IRCA] Suitable Crate found at Wal-Mart

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Steve for the Wal-Mart report.   The wife and I are going
Wal-Marting tonight.  That is one Sterilite model # away from what Kevin
used on his plans (1692).  The dimmensions are just a hair different, is
all that I can see (plus the 1692 can interlock / stock with another).
I'll see if they have one in-stock.

I can not believe the mean spirited comment earlier today about the
Crate Loop and Kevin's wonderful offer.  Man that was rude!  True enough
it may be near 100 year old technology but what hobby doesn't feature
"making the old into something new again?"

I found a suitable crate for making a Crate Loop at Wal-Mart yesterday,
only 
$5.00. It's a Sterilite #1693, found in the stationery section. They had
two 
colors, green and red.
Once I dig up some wire and a variable cap, I'll wind a "Kevin Crate
Loop" 
and check out how it works, maybe even measure the Q (I have an HP4342A
Q 
meter.....).
I think Kevin's "Crate loop kit" is an excellent idea, and saves one
from 
having to find the parts. If I didn't have the parts on hand, or know
where 
to obtain them, I'd be buying one of his kits.
