Just ordered one of these and got it put together. The price has gone up since OCG bought it though. If I was going to do it over I think I'd get a pair of the stands from HF or Northern Tool and go to lunch with the change. The box was missing the lock washers it said were included so I put...

That seems like a bargain for those straps.

Thanks for clearing it up. Hadn't seen anything mentioning different versions. I've got those already so I'll send these back.

I've contacted Challenger too. Waiting to hear back.

At Sears you have to wait for the sales. I bet it won't be $15.00 higher on the upcoming fathers day weekend sale.

Upgraded to Extra last year. Shack is out in a corner of the detached garage. Wife said I couldn't put the tower against the house like I wanted. Don't talk much but enjoy learning. Not sure I'd have upgraded if there was still the code requirement. Learning the extra material was hard...

My understanding is that you get sparks when there is a load on the system somewhere.
