However, I submit that you (and I) would have more fun with better antennas.
Absolutely! I had fun as a kid with antennas at about 25 ft in the maple trees at the front and back of our lot. I had fun with dipoles strung between telephone pole in the alley and the front of my apartment in Chicago, and somewhat better dipoles on a house I later owned in Chicago. I've worked DX with 5W into a wire taped to a fiberglass pole and jammed into a picnic bench, with a counterpoise laying on the ground. I now have an antenna farm beyond my wildest dreams, and I'm having even more fun. I can testify that better is better. :)
