Very well stated Jim. I enjoy building things and being outdoors and I
definitely enjoy working on the antenna farm. I built most of my antennas
from scratch and I find it to be a very satisfying experience. Many people
live in antenna challenged communities or have physical or financial
limitations and I think that the club station is a fantastic option. I
know that contest club stations exist in Europe.

Not to take anything away from those who are stuck in real estate where
they simply cannot do anything with antennas. We've all been there, and
this sort of thing could be an opportunity for those folks. BUT -- how
about getting together with your club and building a great CLUB station
that you can come an operate? You can learn from the process of building
it, and take pride in what you (and your cohorts) have built. THAT'S the
true spirit of ham radio.
