[TowerTalk] K2GL rotators, etc

[kr2q at optonline.net]

Okay...so I am now subscribed.

Reviewing the photo documentation posted here of the 3501 rotor, that is NOT what we had
at K2GL.  Our's was much larger and, as I stated before, the gear(s) were UNDER the main
housing and included 3 shock-absorbers.  Perhaps Frank (LPL) has the correct number as
3503.  Obviously (to me) 3501 is wrong.

I have also received some inquires about the "To Win the World" movie and can comment:

1.  I have contacted the producer and seems like something may be happen for 2008.  Either
simply more copies or (hopefully!) and updated version with some previously excluded out
takes.  The movie was professionally done and is narrated by Bill Leonard, W2SKE (SK).  For
those of you who don't know, Bill was VP at CBS News, a famous "announcer" on par with
Walter Cronkite, and was the author of the famous Sports Illustrated article on contesting.

2.  The movie recorded one of only three "losses" at N2AA at K2GL.  In this one, we lost to 
W2PV (10.618M vs 10.399M...not that I remember such things).  The year was 1981 and we
actually lost both modes to the PV crew.  The other loss was to N5AU, but I don't remember
the year.  Yes, that right, a "5" won M/M that year.
