[TowerTalk] QST antenna ad policy

[Bert]

The SEVHF competition for the last several years has been held
at the parking lot of the Mariott, due to Access issues at DAFB.
However, the real figures (or at least relative comparison) tends 
to reveal itself.  Nothing can substitute for direct comparison on
a range, amateur or professional.

BTW, the 

Southeastern VHF Society Conference meeting will be held April 14 & 15, at 
Marietta, Ga.  Details at http://www.svhfs.org/svhfs/

I have been to all of the SEVHFS Conferences, and they are outstanding !
