How do you lose a tower? Seriously?
My local club, the Wireless Association of South Hills, has spent the last 18 months plus raising funds to purchase a mobile tower (see www.n3sh.org for details). When we had enough funds for the tower itself, it was paid for and ordered from Tashjian Towers (formerly Tri-Ex). Tower and base mount were assembled, tested, and shipped, due to arrive today. The person who has been organizing the project, Randy N3ZK, had arranged for the tower to be delivered to his workplace so that there would be enough people to unload the tower properly -- and sign for it too. So, Randy gets a call from his warehouse people, telling him that Roadway had come and gone... no tower. He starts making calls. The official word: They lost it. He called Tash Towers, talked to their shipping people. First words they said: "They lost it? How could they lose a tower?" All I can say is, Roadway had better find that tower -- or get on the horn to their insurance people. Meanwhile, I may have to have a word with one of the newest members of the club... who recently passed the bar and is now an attorney... How can you lose a tower? I'm just flabbergasted! 73 Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
