With the winter solstice in December just before Christmas usually
comes excellent low-band conditions. I would go for a four-square
of those 40 footer artificial Christmas trees base loaded for 80 meters
with Christmas lights set up to blink in unison with modulation. Only
a real scrooge could poo-poo that - right? And if they do, you can
suspend them from the tree (in an OSHA approved fully body harness
of course) as an ornament since the trees are rated to support up to
twelve people each.
