You know it is too bad that 160 is out of the picture on FD.  There are temporary antennas that can be placed.  An L can go into the trees in about a half an hour with a compromised ground--but it would play!  Two years ago I saw 1 Q listed on the 3830 postings.  There must have been another because he talked to somebody.

Topband would be an awesome band for FD.  It's too bad that nobody plays there on FD.  Maybe if they did, others would build antennas and be there too.  I know for an absolute FACT that W0AA (the MWA club call) will not be building a 160 antenna this year.
