[TenTec] [TenTec_Eagle] Re: Just ordered my Eagle

[John B. Egger]

I've often thought about commenting on these antenna/ground threads; 
Glenn's note and Rick's reply have provided the motivation. I understand 
Glenn's position, but have often felt immensely privileged to be invited 
to share in the expertise of contributors to this group. (I'm tempted to 
start naming a few but am sure to inadvertently omit a valuable 
contributor.) I am saving the posts in these discussions, most of them, 
in the hope that someday I'll turn my attention to, and eventually 
understand, them!

Again, it's a huge privilege to be able to share in the knowledge of our 
group members. A big "thank you," guys! And I bet I'm not alone in this 
viewpoint.
