Howard,
I always walk in to a situation whether on or off the air assuming that I
will be working with cooperative people who will treat me as an equal. That
assumption works about 99 percent of the time.
The other 1 percent of the time, I just walk away scratching my head!

Bob,
I was listening to a group of gentlemen on 7200 kHz, a few weeks ago, and
they were talking about self supporting towers and wondering how much
concrete would be needed for a particular size tower. I listened for a
while and broke-in to answer a question since I actually own the tower they
were talking about. After I was finished, they invited me to join them
anytime and said they were there everyday. Now, this is the way it is
supposed to work.
