Hello, all... I made a comment in another thread that my station was a "little pistol." That got me thinking and wondering about how to "size" a ham station. "Big Guns" are rather obvious. Now, how about a "small gun," a "big pistol," a "little pistol," and finally "bow and arrow?" Clearly, this is very subjective, For example, my station: in the city on a small lot, SkyHawk at 60ft, 80/40m compromise wires, nothing on 160m, 500w amp, and K3. I can juuuust get into the top 10 in the CQWWcw from WNY [most of the time], I've worked 335 DX on assorted bands, 5Band-DXCC is forever waiting on 80m, and it's generally hard to hold a run frequency when a band opens strongly. What size is this station? Anyone who comes up with "pea shooter" will be so noted <g>. How about your station? Happy 4th.
