Who Calibrates Bird Slugs?

Well, I went to the horse's mouth and asked Bird 1) how much, and 2)
might I drop in ...

Hello Jeff,
The cost for calibration on 2500w slug is base on Frequency Bands
The cost 2500H is $100 the cost for 2500A; B; C; D; E AND J is
$200
Regarding walk in, no we do not Calibrate walk-in basis.
=============================================
Re Bird calibration: When my company had all test equipment out for
calibration for ISO-9001 certification, I included an out-of-tolerance
Bird slug with one of our 43 wattmeters. The meter 'passed', & still
had the 'bad' slug in it. I queried the tech, & he said they only check
the 30MA meter - not the slugs.

A ham who ran/runs a used test eq. biz in the MD-DC-VA area used to
make the local hamfests. He would take bad & out-of-calibration slugs
in trade, & repair them in his shop. He found a source for the [then]
scarce diodes, + did a neat job of removing the drive pins that secure
the face plates. If I could remove them neatly, I'd calibrate one of
mine. At one hamfest, a CBer walked up & asked him if he had his 25KW
slug yet. I started to follow him back to his car, & report his tag #
to the FCC.

BTW, I have some extra VHF/UHF slugs, & need a few HF slugs.

73,
