Charles,

Consider yourself supremely blessed that you even HAVE such options at your
disposal...!!!

So very many aspirants to Top Band glory are forcibly confined to property
limits imposed upon them by the suburban environment in which they live.
More than a few would GLADLY be confronted by the choices as are presently
confronting you...

My advice...? Like the athletics commercial, "...JUST DO IT!" So very many
others on the band can only wish that they could...
