[Elecraft] [OT] IDXC Visalia - N6BT Antennas

[Scott Manthe]

Don,
Given the myriad of stories about Tom not answering email, why in the 
world wouldn't you ask for his phone number? This seems a recipe for 
frustration to me.

And honestly, Tom's explanation sounds like more excuse making to me. It 
isn't really hard to answer emails, and I'm pretty sure if someone is 
smart enough to design and antenna, he or she is certainly smart enough 
to answer emails. My feeling is that Tom feels like he has enough 
customers and probably only responds to emails from guys he's heard of 
or his buddies.

73 and good luck, you'll probably need it.

Scott, N9AA
