Lucky man. Me too! We live on 16 acres in the hills of rural Vermont
(past 22 years). There is an antenna farm including tower and
tribander. Wife, JeanneE, helped me put in 40 radials for the 40 meter
1/4 wave vertical. The longest is 250 feet! Some at 128 feet, etc.
She even suggested that the new electric dog fence which is a 975 loop
one inch under the grass and under the inverted-L be flipped with a
switch from loop antenna to shorted )disconnected from the fence TX) and
grounded counterpoise. Ah, and then there is the great callsign she
has. JeanneE is KA1PMS. And the kids are Guinnevere KA1ZWK, and Dylan
N1UKP. The club call is W1PAZ. With the new (Feb 2007) very easy no-CW
ham U.S. exams the two dogs are considering getting their ham tickets.

Hi David,
I married into the contest QTH ;o) It puts a little
strain on the finances, but what ham would turn down a
couple acres in the country for antennas??
I'm so bloody fortunate, she even helps with the
antennas and radials!
Cheers,
Julius
