[TowerTalk] Where to get HFTA Software

[Mark Robinson]

I think that it would be pointless running the program on flat ground. 
No-one has ever been able to help me run the program with real data even 
though they offered to try, so I just had to guess when putting up my tower. 
It seems to me that this program is overrated and a waste of time since very 
people can actually make it work. Finding the coordinates of my tower is the 
easy part.

Sorry for the rant but I am so frustrated with this program and the lack of 
any useful instructions on how to use it.  Another half baked good idea in 
my book.. I put my beam at 87 1/2 feet and just worked DX.
