[TowerTalk] HF Vertical Opinions NEEDED...

[Kelly Taylor]

I really don't understand the kvetching Steve gets from time-to-time when he 
directs folks to a publication of unbiased, comparative data about the 
subject at hand! Isn't that what good advice is?

If people are going to complain that Steve is unwilling to give away for 
free the data he and N0AX spent hours and countless calories worth of 
erecting, disassembling, re-erecting and disassembling antennas, then I 
guess fairness and market economy aren't completely understood. Why should 
he give to me for free something KB0FHP had to pay for? Peter, when you go 
to work, do you not expect your employer to pay you?

Why should Steve pointing to his comparison be any different than the others 
who have pointed to ARRL publications, such as the Antenna Book, or the ARRL 
Handbook? And by the way, Steve, THANKS for maintaining this resource in 
spite of these scurrilous complaints.

Question: did Karl Marx give away Das Kapital? I think even he sold it. no?

73, kelly
