[cma-l] Confession

[Neil Munday]

Hey if you can put AM on a boat then I'm sure it's not rocket science to
erect a pole somewhere or a pair of poles!

Our transmission engineer maybe able to advise as we have had a lot of AM
RSL experience over the last 25years.

Unfortunately he is not on email being sort of old school but happy to pass
messages on.

At least we can do is offer a dialogue rather than this negativity!
