First, my thanks to all those who have come to the "Antennas UP!" web site. I have just added a new links
section for non-governmental links and put one in; also wrote a book review on the ARRL book "Antenna
Zoning for the Radio Amateur" by K1VR; added a new Opinion piece. I invite you all to come check out the
site at: http://www.antennasup.org. More important, though, is that when you check out the site, be
thorough and pay particular attention to the intent I have (had?) to create an organization to help hams
deal with antenna issues as well as to lobby for legislative change. So far with a couple thousand hits
on the site, I have NO organization. It makes me wonder if everyone is more than happy to bitch about
the antenna issue but nobody is willing to do anything about it. I can't do it myself! If we want to get
some action, we have to TAKE some action, and that's what "Antennas UP!" is supposed to be about.
At the National level, State level and Local level there is work to be done. None of it is either too small
or too big if people will get off their duffs and come together to do it.
So drop by again and check out my newest editorial as well as the "Non-governmental links" for info.
on yet another organization that shares our interests.
73's to all, good DX and ANTENNAS UP!
