[TowerTalk] Rude Tower Salesman

[WA9ALS - John]

This probably won't help, and I'm not criticizing you for stating your
negative experience, but I have to chime in that I found [a] Gerald at
Texas Towers to be very helpful last year quoting prices.  He seemed to
have time to talk and was helpful.  Maybe he had a bad moment.

BALANCED, and PATRIOTIC - Paul M. Segal (W9EEA), The Radio Amateur's
Handbook.  True in 1928, not a bad idea for 2000.
