The best general purpose article I have ever seen on tower construction
was in the CQ 1995 Equipment Buyer's Guide. Written by none other than
John Dorr, K1AR.
Check it out. It is worth keeping a copy in your files for Elmering
sessions when you are asked what is required to put up a tower!

I am writing an article on practical antenna stuff for one of the ham
publications and I could use some help.
If someone walked up to you at a radio club meeting and asked the
following question, what would you suggest?
- I just got my license and don't want to spend more than $100 on
antennas. What should I do?
- My town only allows a 35' tower height. What could I do that would be
most effective for DX and contest work on 160-10m?
- I have room for one tower, maybe 50-80 feet. What should I put up for
effective DXing?
Answer any or all of them. I have some ideas myself, but looking to for
some confirmation and new suggestions. Don't recommend brand names, just
antenna types and configurations.

What a dickhead you are. Take your contest reflector and shove it up
where the sun don't shine.

I must appologize to the contest reflector. The message you read was
sent as a private message
intended for the one individual's eyes only. I see it went out to the
reflector without my permission,
with the intent of making me look bad. I would suggest to others to
watch out for poor judgement
made by sysops who turn private messages into a libel situation.

I shoudl proof-read my messages before sending them out.
I meant to say that the sysop turned my PRIVATE message to him
into a PUBLIC message to the reflector with the intent of making me
look bad in the eyes of others. See how something can get blown up
and twisted around? The original message was not sent as a PUBLIC
message addressed to the reflector.

I would propose that any messages directed at the manager of the list
that discuss the policies of the list are the property of the list.
Furthermore, while not a general policy, I think there are occasions
where a "private" message is of interest to the list and improves
communication regarding an ongoing thread.
I have always treated any mail sednt to me as in the public domain.
If I am wrong in this assumption, I would like to know.
Again, I am not trying to make a policy out of dragging folks private
thoughts into the list or anywhere else, but my reccomendation would
be: Don't send anything "private" that you would not want to see "public."

Yes, but your message is not a bit national security stuff. Your
message was to the manager of the list regarding the policy of the
list. The manager may make this policy discussion known to the list
at his discretion. He is in effect, just repeating your words. If
those words make you look bad, it was you who put them together in
the first place. As far as I know, he is entitled to repeat what
you sent him. It did not say "PRIVATE COMMUNICATION FOR YOUR EYES
ONLY." I think it is just a general policy that flames are not
generally repeated just to protect the stature of the sender, but
this is only a gesture of kindness as not to humiliate the verbally
challenged.
