[TowerTalk] KB4IDC, Robin Midgett

[WA4MWM]

I too have had excellent dealings with Robin.

He provided a special 4130 mast, meeting me at a hamfest to make sure the 
mast was not damaged and to save on transportation costs.  He delivered more 
than he promised and at the price he quoted -- a pleasant surprise in 
today's society.  His pricing was fair and below that quoted by other 
suppliers.    He mailed the manufacturer's documentation sourcing the 
material used in the mast and certifying that it was 4130.  The galvanized 
coating was excellent and very uniform -- very important (and seldom found) 
in mast fabrication.

I have had other transactions with Robin and each has been excellent.  I 
plan on doing future business with Robin.

I recommended Robin to Jay Terleski at Array Solutions who has used Robin to 
supply masts for his customers.  The last time I talked to Jay, he was also 
pleased with Robin's performance.

Based upon my experiences with Robin, I can state without reservation that 
he has delivered more than he promised, delivered everything at the price 
quoted and in a timely manner.  He is both pleasant to deal with and very, 
very professional in his attitude and execution.

If anyone should have any questions regarding my experiences with Robin, 
please contact me directly.

>> Greetings TT Readers,
>> I believe most of the subscribers have seen this scenario before, so I 
>> won't spend much time on it.
>> This case with KQ2M is one of misunderstanding and mis-use of terms. Once 
>> he made me aware of his dissatisfaction with the product he received, I 
>> tried to communicate with him verbally to resolve the situation. He 
>> flatly refused to speak with me, and insisted on having everything in 
>> writing. Additionally, he cast what amounts to venom at me via E-mail, 
>> calling me a liar and a thief. Anyone who knows me (KQ2M does not) knows 
>> better; much better.
>> As I explained to him at the time, had he approached me with some measure 
>> of respect, his situation would have been resolved to his satisfaction. 
>> Instead, he chose to hurl insults and angst at me. Then he chose to send 
>> a scathing message to our moderator over the situation. Steve in turn 
>> asked for my side of the story, which I provided. In the end, Steve 
>> agreed that he himself would have had no problem purchasing the items I 
>> sold KQ2M at the price he paid.
>> Likewise, I have all the messages concerning this archived. If anyone is 
>> really inclined to read them for themselves, I'll be happy to forward 
>> them, as well as the pictures.
>> Now that KQ2M has waited until I posted something for sale on the 
>> reflector to stage a public mud slinging, I think it appropriate to 
>> address it. Having now done so, I won't make anymore issue about this on 
>> the reflector. I thank you for your time.
