"Dipole Derby" ... cool idea, except the "Cliff-dweller" up 7,000 on the
side of a mountain with equal skills most likely do a LOT better (some
directions) than the guy down in the flatlands (or in a hole). Still, it
might be hoot...irrespective of locations...to have a mini contest once in
a while were ALL participants (even the Big Guns) had to use a dipole not
to exceed 25 feet off the ground. Well, maybe wait until the next Sunspot
Cycle Peak for this one :-)

You certainly must have been joking, right?
