You may be right, but right now I'm busier than the proverbial one-armed paper hanger trying to get the boat ready to move aboard by May. If I were to take the time to do it, I'd build it from copper tubing - a bit more robust than coathanger wire... I did hear back from one other vendor - and for $385, I think I will do just that: build it once I have some time. I know I can do a better job than the cheap homebrew-looking one from National RF...
