[bars] PL-259 crimping expert?

[Guy DeMartinis]

Perhaps a technical blog associated with the BARS website might be useful and allow more efficient technical discussions on a variety of topics? I don’t know anything about setting up blogs so this is just a thought for BARS leadership to consider?

Please excuse me if this email was sent twice, I had some email “issues” today.

Regards
