Well, no...  Do you have any idea how many people read this reflector?
I have had people I never met before walk up to me at hamfests and
start up a conversation on something I wrote on Towertalk. I asked
them how they knew me, and they pointed to the "K2AV" on my cap...

As best as I can tell most readers go for the archives, most readers
*don't* post, and are quite intelligent enough to follow what gets
said here, and form pretty decent independent opinions.

Anyone putting up a significant ham station has probably heard about
towertalk, and has checked in for reading if they're on the internet.

A medium with this kind of power had to wait for the internet. But now
that it's here, it is taking manufacturers to task, and they are
thinking...

Not nothing. Maybe we can't force *all* the mfrs to get in line, but
the one's who are paying attention here will (are) start to pull
ahead.

Everyone who reads this regularly can quote the names.

...KISS...  ...ITES... ...SFE...  (Simple, fair, enforceable)
