    Got one of These Lying Around?

    In the pre-Bencher days, Butternut sold a series of V/UHF colinear verticals, for all practical purposes they're J-Poles.

    The 2-meter flavors were the "trombone" 2MCV and the "double trombone" 2MCV-5.

    Anyone got one of these sitting around that they don't need anymore?

    The reason I'm asking... Eric N3DWS found out that I have an "NOS" 2MCV-5 that I picked up from R&L quite a few years ago on close-out. He's looking for one, and to be honest, his monthly e-mails to me are starting to become annoying... he's not taking "no thanks" for an answer.

    So I'm hoping to find one somewhere just so that I can get him off my back.

    I know, not the most noble of reasons, and I know he should do his own digging (he has a classified on QTH.COM right now looking for one, so he is trying)... I'm just tired of the emails. I'm also just ornery enough right now... never mind. I don't want to sound like I won't sell it out of spite, but I had no intentions of selling it in the first place, so this is the next best thing. I hope.

    Kind of reminds me of f$%ktards on ebay that hassle you sell to them before an auction starts.
    Yeah right dude, I don't care how bad you need it for work. Play the game and bid.

    BTW, what you are doing is noble, it is just a shame you have to do it for him.

    A simple email filter to the bit bucket will take care of that.

    If it were corroded, would it be the old "Rusty Trombone"?

    That would be spiteful and vindictive... and a little mean.

    I'd rather have another Pina Colada. But it's too early in the morning.

    After giving the matter some thought overnight... I've added Eric to my blocked list.

    He's point blank said he's going to continue to harass me until I give in. Who needs that grief?

    So if anyone has an old 2MCV-5 and feels like negotiating with him, be my guest. But no need to do it on my behalf.

    He is begging... more like demanding... but not taking "thanks but no thanks" for an answer.

    It's not a question of "top dollar" or for that matter any dollar. I told him from the first email that mine wasn't for sale, period.
