Same here. Got ripped on some tower parts a couple years ago using PayPal, They told me to send it back, they froze his account. He got the misled parts back, they took it out of his account, paid me
I agree with you there. They are getting out of hand. No argument here. 73 Dave I have read a couple of post this am, and had to comment. You guys are correct PAYPAL does offer safe guards second to
Putting up a 350' tower 1/4" mile from a AM station is nothing? n4zkf Cell sites are nothing. An AM array proof of performance has 20 radials, with 10 readings each... out to a distance of 8-10 miles

Eupen is the way to go since Commscope bought Andrew. Nice stuff. Most of the carriers that like a good install are going to it on our towers. 73 Dave n4zkf --Original Message-- From: towertalk-bounc
I (or my team) is in charge of about 4000 towers in the SE. They have from 1 to 15 carriers on the towers depending on the tower. Not one (yes, not one) has anything but a copper buss bar that the po
