July 1996 is not quite old enough. This is Ed's sign-on message to
TowerTalk. Unfortunately, he wasn't quite a charter member.
I'm pretty sure it was June of 1996. Here's my evidence:

There are a few messages that pre-date this invitation from Steve, but
not many.
Bill has archives of CQ-Contest going back to 1992, so I think TowerTalk
was archived from day 1 - starting in June of 1996. Call it June 1, 1996.
And it has really been a great reflector!
