Any Glen Martin fans out there whose brains I could pick?  Still
collecting info!  Specifically, comments related to the Voyager aluminum
packages, e.g. M-1850A or M1840A?  Any info on what boom length works
with these?

After I collect all my printed info, email, web pages, and other info,
I'll post my impressions as relates to my needs and will invite comments
one more time on the whole idea.

Right now it looks like a tilt-over would work best for me.  I have
freinds with HDBX Rohn towers who have done well.  However, at least
half of the comments about my 10-ft boom question made it sound as if
the HDBX wouldn't handle much more that a small TV antenna!  (However,
the other half of the comments said they have had huge antennas on the
HDBX for 10 years without problems!)

I'd rather not have to guy, but if I can't do what I want with the HDBX,
looks like some guying will have to be done with most others for 10 sq
ft or so of antenna.  Tnx
