Checked them out earlier. Their website features the Cadweld One Shot Plus
that requires the use of a $135.00 controller for ignition. I was hoping to
be able to use the same lighter I use to light my propane torch and skip the
controller.

The ones I used (3 cartons of 'em) use a small ignition charge that could be lit with a match, although I'd not recommend that, even wearing leather gloves. They were easily lit using a propane or Oxyacetylene torch. Yes, sparklers do work, although if not right on the end can be awkward. I'd purchase the ones that are easy to ignite and not experiment. These things are dangerous and can burn a hole through a concrete floor. This is what I did: http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/ground.htm I usually purchase them by the carton, but the new tower will only take about a half dozen to thoroughly tie it into the present ground system. IIRC they were around $10 give or take. No special igniter required. They went by the name "One Shot" which is now often used as a generic. So they may be a one shot charge, but not the true "One Shot"

I've been looking for Cadweld One Shots that accommodate three wires.
Bought several 2-wire Cadwelds from Chris Perri, KF7P, but his website
does not list the three wire variety. The manufacturer's part number is
NT1161L.
Looking for a source for a few units and any pointers would be
appreciated.


Thanks,



Bob, K9RHY
