TenTec Equipment Mavens -
I was extremely pleased to see the TenTec Acrobat dipole center
insulator as the centerpiece of a set of Jetstream (TM) G5RV antenna
products. They use the typical triangle shaped center conductor to
convert the window line tuning stub to coax - but they chose the TT
Acrobat center insulator to mate the dipole elements with the window line.
OK, not a huge deal, but a minor success nonetheless. Every little sale
helps keep the lights on at TT HQ.
I think this is an underrated and under appreciated item in the TT line.
It matches both coax and window line, and can be quickly assembled in
the field with just a screwdriver. I recommend these to new hams
wanting to get on the air quickly, along with the Budwig HQ1
element-to-coax insulator. You can home brew practically everything,
but these two items beat any home made equivalents.
So, TT supplies parts for Jetstream dipoles... nice.

Happy trails.
