[HamWAN PSDR] Where does one buy these V-Bolt clamps cheaply?

[Kenny Richards]

This is just my two cents, but spending the money on antenna mounting
hardware is worth every penny.  Think how much it is going to cost to have
someone climb the tower to replace/fix a cheap $3 clamp that broke in
December after our first snow....

Thanks,
Kenny
