[TowerTalk] Results of Rotor Survey, Non- Prop Pitch

[Jim Brown]

People "vote" on their experience, and tend to CHOOSE the lowest cost 
product. The higher cost product may be superior, but lose out in the 
selection based on cost. Also, as a subscriber to three 
manufacturer-focus email reflectors, I see lots of rooting for the home 
team, and seeing one's choice of rig challenged as an insult! Another 
factor is the product reviews tend to be written soon after purchase, 
before problems develop.

A FAR better way to choose products and mechanical issues associated 
with a tower is to ask the professionals who install them and fix them. 
The proprietor of this list, K7LXC, is one of the best. Hector, XE2K, is 
another. So are those who maintain large stations, like W3LPL and K3LR.
