Try hosting the neighborhood wireless RAP at the top of your tower [in 
exchange for free, pretty-high speed Internet in an area with no DSL, no 
CATV, and no sewers.  OK the last doesn't count].  Truthfully, the 
number of external signals I hear are fewer and of lower amplitude than 
I thought I would see, I know where they are, and I'm good at ignoring 
things ... ask my wife.
