My intention here was precisely to avoid splintering -- I think there is a
need for a group that is broader than just remote bases - but if that's all
people are interested in, there's no harm in there being a group dedicated
to that as well. I think one of the geniuses of towertalk is that, rather
contrary to its title, it covers towers, rotators, feedlines, antennas,
materials, etc. I'd like to see a single reflector with similar breadth
devoted to, as the title suggests, automation -- everything from software,
to networking to automatic antenna switching systems to band decoders to
SO2R boxes.
