Hey Joe, it was clear enough for me, and I'm no engineer.  This is not a
simple topic, and Kurt does a great job of conveying difficult technical
content to the rest of us.

A couple of months ago, he rescued me from a design decision that would
have overloaded my Rohn 25 by about 50 percent, resulting from the
inconsistencies between area figures used by tower and antenna manufacturers.

Keep it up, please, Kurt!
