An interesting story about MFJ and Martin Jue is in the latest CQ
magazine. He said that ham radio isn't about TALKING to anyone, it's about
USING everything - the equipment, your knowledge, etc. I thought it was
pretty profound and I think he's right.
OTOH, this is still the tower and HF antenna reflector. Your points are
well taken and your concern for the hobby/service appreciated. My suggestion
is to take it to the ARRL and other more appropriate forums. Tnx.
