[TowerTalk] The other side of the story & Banishment

[Pete Smith]

Terry, this really is a tempest in a teapot.  This is the first time I 
recall, and I've been on Towertalk since it was born, that anything 
involving Champion Radio's customer relations has ever come up.

Towertalk is THE place for information, not just on towers, but on 
antennas, feedlines, matching and switching systems, and the like.  There 
probably are better sources for VHF, UHF and microwave, but Towertalk has 
the critical mass to be the single best place to come for everything else.

I've been messing with mailing lists for a long time, and my experience 
says that it is quite easy to fragment a given topic area into competing 
groups or groups with focuses that are too narrow, so no value 
results.  Let's not spoil a good thing.  This is THE place to lurk.
