[TowerTalk] Digging a tower foundation hole

[Bob Gates]

TTers,

I happen to totally agree with Hector.  The "day laborers" Steve referred to are hard working men trying desperately to support their families.  Politics aside, I feel that the terminology was beyond politically incorrect, and I feel that an apology is in order.  No "Cheers" in that message.

73, Bob W7BJ

  I'm Mexican ,  it will be a pleasure charge you $100.00 dlls hourly just to  be in your house to see your hole diggin process and say how to do it 

  NOT ALL THE  Mexicans  that are around  are cheap or have no work

  BETTER  OPTION , BRING YOUR OWN PEOPLE FROM  LA OR MS  TO HELP YOU , I JUST READ 200,000  HAVE NO WORK ,  HELP AN AMERICAN  GIVE A JOB
