Moreover, I’d say the reflector is populated with enough people with enough
knowledge and/or experience (K9YC, Jim Lux (sorry, he rarely signs his call but
I know he has one), K7LXC, K3LR, K7NV, AB7E, etc.) that any commercial content
that lacks integrity would be called out pretty quickly.
As for a certain list admin who may or may not have a book on towers in print…
if you have questions about erecting towers, is there a better resource than Up
the Tower?
