Looks like you are the dog, lucky dog.

My wife has no interest in amateur radio, only horses.  We will celebrate
our 40th wedding anniversary next year.  She never complains about my
amateur radio expenses now that I have built this on "her" 8 acres:

"My" 8 acres will soon have an antenna farm.

Guys, it could be worse.

K1TN might remember a cute young redhead who worked for Jeanne DeMaw back in
the fall of 1976, checking WAS submissions. At the time I was a lab tech and
Jim was the contest czar. Jennifer and I have been married almost thirty
years now and we have three kids, one of whom is KG6YMN. More importantly
for this discussion, Jennifer is now KB4TGE, and has handed out QSOs in a
few contests.

Now it is pretty cool when she suggests better antennas and equipment for
the station, but I have to realize that it comes with an ulterior motive -
it will help _her_ scores as well. She hasn't pushed me out of the chair to
this point, but the possibility is always there. And with KG6YMN coming
along I feel the handwriting is on the wall...

By the way, she refused to allow the words "obey" in the ceremony also,
reasoning that dogs obeyed, and she definitely was not a dog.  
So far things have managed to work out pretty well.
