Hi Bill et al,
Good luck with your new business venture. Regarding your
comments yesterday about more specialized reflectors (micro-
relflectors?) I offer the following comments:
I find towertalk to be a good resource, even with occasional off-
topic postings. The potential problem, as I see it, creating micro-
reflectors, for specific sub-topics such as lightning protection, is we
will lose a lot of pariticipation by readers and "experts."
Currently I am subscribed to a handful of reflectors (towertalk, cq-
contest, writelog, dxr, and wf1b-rtty). Between them, it's an averge
of about 80 e-mails/day. More than enough for me!
If I were looking for info on a specialized topic (eg, lightning) I might
subscribe, ask my question, hopefully get an answer, then
unsubscribe. I can't speak for others, but I suspect many would
react similarly. I occasionally scan the archives of a few other
reflectors (amps, yaesu) because the topics interest me, but I don't
want all the additional e-mail. The problem with this is I am just a
lurker, unable to contribute. Obviously, the decision on what to
include in the towertalk reflector lies with you and/or Steve. Just
my two cents.
73,
Barry
