Hi, all concerned:

I have little piles of little-gun tower and antenna stuff languishing in my
back yard, my basement, my attic, &c., which I've lugged along during a move
or two in the past.

I've installed a vertical over a good ground system, and am about to put up
some wires in trees.  Don't need help there, unless you have a bucket truck
to put the pulleys and halyards "permanently" on branches or trunks at
55-foot-plus heights.

I figure OTBE that I have one more sun-spot cycle left in me anyway, and as
long as there's at least one other c-w op left, I can be a 'silent mike',
and the modulator can continue rusting out of the rig from disuse.

Enthusiasm for general h-f operating still lives here, but it is tempered
substantially by viewing the W1RFI BPL-stuff on the ARRL website.

So.   Should I throw caution to the winds and money to the PE fella, the twp
board of zoning appeals (twp treasurer, really), the county building permit
section, the backhoe fella, the concrete fella, and after all that, finally
put the ethereal adornments up, or should I wait and see what falls out of
the BPL situation before taking decisions?

TIA for reading, and any forthcoming comments.

73, Dave, N3HE
