But it's most obviously a commercial venture Andy.

Otherwise it would be like all those hams who offer stuff back to the hobby
by publishing their designs on their web site *FREE OF CHARGE*.

But it's not. You've got to pay Felix for the info. Nothing wrong with
that. But advertising for the product via ham radio is low, really low.

By Felix's numbers he's taken about 525 ukp from punters. Blank CDs cost 7p
each. Plus postage. So Felix has made around 500ukp to spend on materials
for his antenna. 

Wonder if he'll publish how much he spent on materials?
And if he does, will we have to pay to see it? :-)
