How about Wyoming?  At least then, W1AW will be in a RARE
state!  Of course it'll be rough on the commute to DC, but
Denver International is about a two hour drive from Cheyenne
(plus the three houres to go through security etc).  Maybe
beautiful downtown Tie Siding?  Or Lander?

Wrong!  Ask any of the guys at the league.  When I was up
there two summers ago
they all complained how exspensive it was to live there!
