WOW!! Thank you all so much for the opinion/feedback. Looks like I have some more homework to do, which is very good. I think the only thing that I can firmly decide at this point is I won't be hoisting up any 25ft plus antennas in the yard. A neighbor already reported me on my 17ft whip from the My Go 2 HF antenna.
