     You have a right to be confused. This is NOT the Yaesu reflector!

     Right. And anyone that does or wants to continue the conversation, 
please 
 do it privately and NOT on TowerTalk. Thanks.

 just one answer?
 
     You're right - it's not a tower question. Why post a question that you 
 admit is not a topic appropriate for this reflector?

   It may not be but to "Maximize the Reflectors Usefulness", the users of 
towers and antennas use these rigs and often have just the answers for these 
areas also.  Restrictions on occasional information or techniques in slightly 
different other areas is detrimental to advancing the of the art in what is 
now a very expensive hobby (business).  The rigs is on the bottom end of the 
coax you know right next to you absorbing your voice or finger movements.  
The answers were short and to the point and made some very happy.  With all 
the antenna updating one gets on TT, one likes to have the best rig, antenna 
and Yaesu likes that also.  Ham Radio is living mostly off Retirees and SS 
Money.  Retirees are now literally being "Involuntarily, Financially 
Bankrupted from their Hobbies."  I couldn't afford to start as a ham now.  I 
had to invest a fortune to afford it now.  After the next sun spot peak--it's 
all over.  Enjoy what's left of it.

We have too many "Information and Politically Correct Restrictions".  It's 
like a conventional doctor who can't cure you, knows the actual cure, doesn't 
dare do it as his piers would yanks his medical license if he cured you but 
his competitors in another field can.  So he says I can't help you, kicks you 
out, charges you for his kick out and forces you to waste time and go 
elsewhere looking for help--if it exists.  There is a ray of ethics in some 
doctors, however.  They will actually tell you the other type doctors that 
can help you, some will even tell you who and where.  Some will say "I'll fix 
you up right now if you don't tell anybody how I did it."  There are 
countless examples of this totally nonsense.  W7FA needed a 3 way by pass 12 
years ago at $35,000 and at considerable risk.  The heart doctor told him to 
see a local Natural Path Doctor.  He gave him "19 Chelation Treatments" at 
$100 each (totally unheard of) at no risk whatsoever and lived 10 years 
longer dying of another problem his regular doctor didn't know how to handle 
and wouldn't tell him where to go.  He also had cancer of the Prostrate and 
cured it himself with the Rife Treatment which the Medical Profession has 
kept from the public also.  They do use it for other therapies like on the 
knee a friend of mine it was used on which aren't as profitable as each 
cancer patient.  Besides they were saving him for Cancer Bankruptcy later on.

I also had Rheumatoid Arthritis 7 years ago so bad I couldn't climb a tower 
and other things--big trouble.  I was given all kinds of pills to cover up 
the pain but no cure, was told there was no cure, these pills actually make 
it worse in time and a candidate for artificial knees--no thank you.  I did 
some research based on a tip from another doctor "in another field" and came 
up with a my own cure for 50 cents in 3 days that has worked on others.  I at 
69 lift weights, climb towers, even jog and with--no joint pains.  In 
technical and medical areas I don't give a damn where the solutions comes 
from and frown on unnecessary restrictions when the medium is not being 
abused.  Many of the Cover Up Pill Type Band Aids that repeatedly occur here 
I've observed on TT do work but I'd like to see more "cures" and at a lower 
price.  Lets keep the information flow going with minimum restrictions before 
the government puts a tax on each E-mail.  The Post Office is losing money.  
That is an "Unauthorized Cost" to really be concerned about.    K7GCO
