Steve,

The first posts I have in my archives are from 6-3-1996.  TT was first
announced in a message from Bill Fisher on 6-2-1996 .  I have
copied it below.

Subject: Tower/Antenna Installation Reflector
CC: k7lxc at aol.com


Steve, K7LXC, approached me about doing a reflector devoted to tower and
antenna installation.  My first response was no, I would hate to see it off
of CQ-CONTEST.  After further discussion it appears that there are not just
ham interests involved here.  Not everyone is a contester, so I've been told.

Anyway... if you are interested in this subject:

Subscribe:  towertalk-request at contesting.com   'subscribe' in body of message.
Submissions:  towertalk at contesting.com
Unsubscribe:  towertalk-request at contesting.com   'unsubscribe' in body of

Subject matter is devoted to the discussion of tower and antenna 
installation.
