[Antennaware] 40m array

[Pete Smith]

Modeling's important, of course, but do you really want extensive silly 
discussion of rivets versus tubing clamps, or ways of polishing aluminum on 
this list, or serious discussions like one on the 43-foot vertical to be 
here rather than there?

Another issue, IMO, is that fragmentation into multiple reflectors tends to 
lose information that otherwise would be archived in one place.  I find it 
pretty easy just to delete the noise on Towertalk, particularly if people 
remember to change the subject line.
