Hey, I've got a whole garage full of stuff that made me feel better when 
I bought it, even if I never even ran RF through it, but just thought I 
might sometime in the future.  And it was money well spent (maybe not 
well spent, but enjoyably anyway)..

No need for extra portapotties with the array, but beer is good. 
Cheerleaders? I think the proverbial cold day is more likely to occur 
than cheerleaders (in the athletic contest sense) for the "radio team" 
at a school.

My cousin used to race cars and he said never underestimate the 
psychological value of shiny new gear.
