    This is a rarely used list. There is another reflector that has over 1100 
members and it is busy with questions and answers to tower and HF antenna 
construction topics. If you want to subscribe to TowerTalk - send a message 
to 
[email protected] with <subscribe> in the subject.

    There you'll get lots of good input.
