EXACTLY!  Thanks for adding your perspective Keith.  I think your point of
view, being a 'new guy', is just what we need to see.

And hey, don't let those antenna restrictions get you down.  That is what
started myself, and many others, as Rovers.  Or, if Roving is not your
thing, there is portable expeditions, like the new 'hilltopper' category.

73 & have fun!
