Let's not forget the generosity of Bill,KM9P/K4AAA, for sponsoring
TowerTalk on his server and donating his time to get it up and running.
Bill's cheap but he's not "free" either.

True enough.

Considering the additional cost of concrete, antennas, cables,
rotators, etc., your "free" tower may result in an out of pocket cost of
$1,000.00 or more for your tower and antenna system.
TowerTalk and its inhabitants represent a unique resource. The free
flow of information is really amazing plus there's no such thing as a dumb
question. The restraint shown by everyone in refraining from posts that are
inappropriate and/or childish is to be congratulated. On the other hand, the
valuable information shared can't be found anywhere else. All information -
no BS. (Besides, if anyone gets out of line, he get's "unsubscribed" - hi
Just kidding, I haven't had to do that yet)
Anyway, special seasons greetings to you. Thanks for your
participation.
