[TowerTalk] "The Art of Antenna Tramming"

[Bill Winkis]

Great Steve .. beautiful illustration .... Be sure and let all know 
when your book will be ready for sales....I'm sure it will be a 
"Must" for all folks with a tower. Steve what is your feeling of the 
"Dual Tram" .... seems it requires more set up etc....but their must 
be reasons of a dual vs the single tram as you describe..??

Thanks For All

-Bill
