The following news was found at the
www.texasbugcatcher.com website.
Effective October 31, 2009, GLA Systems will cease to manufacture the Texas BugCatcher Antenna. It has been a fun 30 years but it is time to hang it up. I would like to thank everyone that has made this experience possible. I have made many friends (maybe an enemy or two) but overall it has been a great trip down a long road.
All orders received before October 31, 2009 will be filled. Effective November 1, 2009 only orders for items that may be in stock at the time will be accepted.
Also effective December 31, 2009 the 1-800-588-2841 toll free line will be discontinued.
73 and Happy Hamming to all
Good luck and best wishes.
