Pay you, what are you talking about? You don't know me, you have never met me, nor do you know anything about my financial situation, besides, that is none of your business. That is personal! I don't need you. I have a very confident engineer that lives 15 minutes from me that probably out do you.
I pay all my bills "ON TIME" and have proof of it. There is no need to prove that to you because "YOU" don't know me and it's none of your business if I can go to the grocery store and pay my bill when done shopping!
This was just an idea myself and my engineer were throwing around one night. My station is fully paid for, I have a new unipole antenna system on my tower, but the T network needs to be rebuilt.
We were having a problem finding the 71 ohm point on the tower, then we realized the tower had become oxidized on one leg, in the sections. My tower is 11 years old, and this is typical when a tower becomes this age. That problem has been cured. I have a confident engineer, Dale Howard, that has worked for me for 17 years. I don't need anybody from out of town.
Dale has my station up and running fine with the temporary network he built until he returns back to Nashville and hopefully by the end of this week, the T Network will be rebuilt and work just fine.
Now I'm getting on here to argue with you, and Barry (the leader of this list) should stop you right here because all your trying to to is start an argument with me, and that is unprofessional on your part. You and your buddies don't know me.
Just because I decided to not buy that BC-1G from you, you think I'm broke? Cute assumption! You kept calling me and I told you I didn't want it. Why? I found out where it came from. Why buy something I don't need and waste my money? I have other irons in the fire outside my little radio station. That BC-1G needs to be retired and given (free) to a ham operator to play with.
This week when my engineer comes home from MA, doing contract work for a major group that owns some TV stations up there, he will rebuilt my T Network and it should be stable. Thank You so much Bill for your unprofessionalism comments about my personal life on this list. Your comments are very childish & who cares if you worked with William Culpepper. I don't even know who he is anyway!
