[TowerTalk] 80m 4Square Comtek box

[Jerry Muller]

I think the bottom line for this is you build if you get pleasure out of
building it. Buy it if you don't.

Sailors (blow boaters) get pleasure out of getting there, powerboaters
(stinkpotters) want to get there. As I'm a blow boat guy, it hurts to say
that when it comes to a four square controller, I'm driving a stinkpot.
