Re: [TowerTalk] new tower install

["Roger Kissel" <kc8hz@hotmail.com>]

So far I've gotten seceral comments and I appreciate all. That includes 
those who didn't read all I writ and/or mis-under-interpreted what I said.  
Jake, YOU hit it on the head and I do appreciate that.

Anyway, I got a call from that 'messenger' who told me about the big 
"sell-looking-type' of tower. And much to my chagrin, it was sold almost 
immediately after he had seen it. So it looks like I'm going to be hanging 
some R55. Not that I'm all upset about it. After all, going from simple tv 
tower to something like 150 feet of R55 aint all THAT hateful. And how many 
amateurs have this opportunity ?  Not really that many.  So I'm not upset at 
all. Just a bit mystappointed but what the heck. I'll be happy when I get my 
iron up in the air.

Thanks to all who read and responded.
