[TowerTalk] tower resonances

[Bill Aycock]

John-
I was first licensed (as an Amateur) in 1952, but have not been active for 
the whole time. However, I am familiar with experimental procedures in 
another field. These discussions fascinate me, and, as with you, make me 
hesitate to undertake a setup as complex as these.

However, I would ask you to not give up on your dreams, because what you 
described is FAR less complex than the nest of interactions they have set 
up. They are dealing with interactions of at least four towers similar to 
yours. You have a far simpler problem.

Don't give up!  There are experts like these guys on here (Towertalk) who 
LOVE to help people like you. (and Me). Describe what you have and what you 
want to do, and ASK.
