[TowerTalk] A3

[ChetMoore]

Ok I'll bite,  whats wrong with 1:3:1??   This "problem" exist across the 
whole 20M band?? Could you expand a bit as to
why this is a problem?  Don't "wait up" for a call from Cushcraft, I reallly 
would not expect Cushcraft to be able to afford to supply tech support to 
the second third or 4th purchaser of an antenna.
