Really? Ever been around one? Climbed one? Our local TV stations have
500' towers with 100' antennas on the top and they're all industrial
strength.

Always? I see clarifications and additional information presented -
no one-upmanship there.
TowerTalk is not an ego-driven reflector (like some are - i.e. the Amps
reflector). The only thing you get is answers to your questions. (Well,
mostly anyway - hi.)

Huh? Gary, the poster, is a commercial broadcast engineer. Others of us
that "really know their stuff" as professionals in our particular fields many
times add the specific information that most hams don't know about when it
comes to TowerTalk topics. Structural and electrical engineers, electricians,
antenna designers, and professional tower riggers are some of the most
valuable TowerTalkians and they add perspective and credibility to tower and
HF antenna construction discussions.
