[TowerTalk] One DB

[David Gilbert]

None of that has anything to do with my posting.  I only referred to the 
original question posted here a couple of weeks ago (by someone whose 
call I've since forgotten), which was "what is an additional one db of 
forward antenna gain worth"?   Turn on your own receiver and play with 
the knobs if you want to check out those other things.  I just didn't 
think it was as easy for everyone to find stepped-level S/N's for 
comparison when I decided to create the file.
