Had a #morsecode contact with WB0RXQ on 15m today and found out on his QRZ profile that he builds fantastic antenna tuners. All variable capacitors and roller inductors are homemade in his machining shop. I don't need a new ATU or any components now, but it's great to know that these components are still made, in high quality, and reasonably priced! https://www.blueridgeamateurradio.com/ #hamradio

A close up on an antenna tuner, with an open enclosure. You can see two tuning knobs, vernier drives and air variable capacitors. Everything looks very well engineered and clean.
