I bought this and the seller had no clue what it was.

I believe it is some type of antenna mount?

Maybe military?

That's the government price it goes with the $200 ashtray and the $600 toilet seat.
Apparently you've never made parts to government standards ......... it's not the supplier in most cases, I've machined parts for militrary surplus for 20 years and the government makes an ashtray worth $200, not the supplier. IT'S NOT CAPITALISM CAUSING OUR CURRENT ECONOMIC CRISIS, it's laziness and handouts!!
 
Actually I did work for a company that made parts for the government, we made drivetrain components for Bradleys, HMMWV, and various other vehicles for the US military as well as other NATO countries. Yes the government procurement process and required testing as well as the limited quantities that they buy in does add to the cost, but industry adds as well. There's more than enough blame to go around. Who do you thinks pays for the junkets and lobbying?

  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
