Hi, Mark --

      First of all I take back what I said about thanking you for posting 
this privately. Since you decided to put it on TowerTalk, I'll take the 
occasion to post my reply.

      For what's its worth, I was the one that started TowerTalk about 4 
years ago and have remained a primary guide/resource/answerer ever since. My 
professional tower experience extends back over ten years in both commercial 
and amateur work. I feel that my contribution is extensive and I also feel 
that I can help guide the topics (which I rarely do anymore - this being a 
rare occasion). 

     There are some things that the reflector is and some things that it 
isn't. Its focus has been and always will be towers and HF antenna 
construction. Sure, we all use antennas to tickle the ether but that's not 
what TowerTalk is about. For those tower and HF antenna construction 
discussions, TowerTalk remains a singular and valuable resource and I'll 
continue to contribute and influence it. My thanks to everyone else who 
subscribes - whether you're contributing or just lurking. 

     Tnx to David C. for re-stating his question. 

Cheers,   Steve   K7LXC
