[TowerTalk] March QST cover

[Patrick Greenlee]

A correction needs to be published to point out unsafe issues 
illustrated by the cover shot.  There are, however, no facts in evidence 
that the girl was in danger. This was quite likely a posed shot with her 
feet within inches of or on the ground, something for the photographer's 
convenience.
