[CQ-Contest] Rohn Going SK?

[David A. Pruett]

There are two press releases about the NASDAQ de-listing on the Rohn web 
site.  They make it sound as if this is simply confusion over paying the 
$8000 fee for being listed, but who knows.

I ordered some Rohn stuff from WB0W last week, and they said that on their 
last order, they only received 1/3 of the material on their P.O. from 
Rohn.  After that, I shot a note to Steve/K7LXC (the Tower Talk moderator, 
and proprietor of Champion Radio) and he said that Rohn had been having 
manufacturing difficulties; for example, there would be no more Rohn 45G 
available until mid-August.

So what's the scoop?  Who knows...however, I just can't conceive a world 
without Rohn tower.

73,

Dave/K8CC
