I strongly agree Eddie. I have done considerable research in this area, all of
it on my own nickel. That's part of my investment in my business. I've also
published much of it, making available to hams. But eventually, someone needs
to pay me (and others like me) for this work. Someone like Boeing. I've
received five trolls like this for free advice in the past three weeks, ALL of
them from businesses. I responded by saying that I would be happy to provide a
proposal for consulting services. So far, none have been willing to belly up to
the bar.
Tom Rauch has been taken advantage of when offering free advice, and has gotten
quite close-mouthed as a result. I respect his position.
If it's about business, let them hire one of us.
