Towers - lattice vs. tubular?
 

If my budget would stand it Heights would be my first choice! My crank
up mast was purchased in about 1980 for somewhere around $400.

I bought a self-supporting 56' Heights tower with its clamshell
tilt-over-kit unit 8 feet up from the base. I lower the tower with a 3/8"
power drill and never leave the ground for anything.

IMHO, nested towers that leave the boom 22' feet in the air and the antenna
elements 4-to-15 feet from your reach are overrated!

Sorry for the inconvenience. I was looking for the easiest way out
when I went to the .MHT format. What browsers do not handle .MHT's?

It is rare that anyone tells me of a problem (may be they just don't
bother?) and I want to keep things as simple as possible for all of
us.

I can go back to Front Page but it was a poor fit for me as well as a
budget breaker! It is paid for now though!

My attempt into .ASP was a lot of effort for zilch!

A web site that doesn't support browsers other than Explorer ain't a web
site.

Firefox. Probably #2 most popular browser.

Isn't plain-ol' HTML sufficient?

I just tried Firefox, I see what you mean. The advantage of using the
..mht file is that I have everything wrapped into one file. If I lose
my copy I can recover by simply download the file from the web site
and us it to update. I am using Word 2007 ( only use it if you have
to, I receive .docx files for newsletters!) and it is pretty easy to
put together a web page while thinking of other things. I have
trouble keeping things sorted out with more than one site in a web
space. One file for each subject works well for me.

The real clinker for an .mht one page in one file is that the source
is all included in the page which requires the user to download a lot
of stuff that is disregarded.

I will work on getting back to the mainstream.

Thanks for the heads up...
