Steve,

I agree, and I have been very blessed to have the wife I do and all the
other things in my life.As a matter of fact,  she has asked my why I
havent begun to put the tower up at our new QTH (which has no house or
anything on it yet!) I thought that was pretty special of her, she
certainly understands that it is important to me to 'play radio' I
guess, but with a child coming in less than 2 weeks (we hope) and
housebuilding next spring, she is being pretty understanding. 

todd, WD0T
