My curiosity got the better of me, so I looked back in the
Towertalk archives to try to find out what this is all about.
The only thing I could find was one post where Steve complained
about the huge size of the concrete base specification for the AN
towers, compared to the competition. Is that what this flap is
really all about? If so, the letter sounds like a gross
overreaction to me.

Second, AN Wireless has every right to protest any comments that
it thinks
are defamatory, to include the right to sue. You have that
right. I have
that right. They have that right. Once again, I have not read
what K7LXC
posted and I make no comment on whether it was defamatory or true
or fair
comment or whatever . . . But I will vigorously defend the right
of
anyone/any company to protest/sue to protect its rights.
Finally, I happen to know, and I bet AN Wireless knows, that
K7LXC's company
has in the past sold (and may well still sell, I don't know) a
competing
similar freestanding tower product, so they might view his
comments as a
competitor a bit differently than comments from Joe Ham who just
put up a
tower and is "reviewing" it. Since I have not seen K7LXC's
original
posting, I don't know whether this was disclosed.

## so what u are saying is no one has the right to bad mouth a
product ? I dont see
Mosely sending out cease + desist letters, nor MFJ, nor anybody
else. This is the 1st time
I have even heard of a ham radio supplier sending out a notice.
Heck, its 2016..and nobody
builds a balun correctly, maybe 1-2 at most. If the folks who
make sub standard products
or dont have it...quite right, started actually listening to the
end users, they could use that feedback
to improve their products. I dont see QST /ARRL getting any
cease + desist letters. The last time
collins radio ever advertised in qst was the same isse that QST
trashed their KWM-380 xcvr.
## K7LXC does not sell a competing product. LXC sells the
Trylon titan towers, which in no way
are even comparable to the AN wireless towers.
