Re: [TowerTalk] KB4IDC, Robin Midgett

I too have had excellent dealings with Robin.

He provided a special 4130 mast, meeting me at a hamfest to make sure the 
mast was not damaged and to save on transportation costs.  He delivered more 
than he promised and at the price he quoted -- a pleasant surprise in 
today's society.  His pricing was fair and below that quoted by other 
suppliers.    He mailed the manufacturer's documentation sourcing the 
material used in the mast and certifying that it was 4130.  The galvanized 
coating was excellent and very uniform -- very important (and seldom found) 
in mast fabrication.

I have had other transactions with Robin and each has been excellent.  I 
plan on doing future business with Robin.

I recommended Robin to Jay Terleski at Array Solutions who has used Robin to 
supply masts for his customers.  The last time I talked to Jay, he was also 
pleased with Robin's performance.

Based upon my experiences with Robin, I can state without reservation that 
he has delivered more than he promised, delivered everything at the price 
quoted and in a timely manner.  He is both pleasant to deal with and very, 
very professional in his attitude and execution.

If anyone should have any questions regarding my experiences with Robin, 
please contact me directly.
