The TowerTalk reflector IS a "micro-reflector" that started out as tower
and antenna discussions on the CQ-Contest reflector. The problem was that
although contesters have an avid interest in towers and antennas, the info
wasn't getting out to Joe Ham - a non-contester. Joe probably hates
contesters anyway. So the TT part was spun off on its own.

Most of these reflectors have digests. That way you only get one or two
posts a day rather than all the traffic. Let me know if you need subscribe
info.
