Hi Tom,

I have a CNC mill and all of metal working equipment needed for the job. 
So we can certainly do the machine shop work here. I'd just like to have 
some other people participate. It is too much like work for me to stand 
in front of the mill and machine parts for hours. But it's kinda fun if 
I get to teach someone else.

I noticed that the original article calls for using brass shim stock to 
ground the resistors to the body. That would work. But the arrow antenna 
product just using little grounding ring terminals that can be bought 
for a few cents. Does anybody see a disadvantage to this approach?
