That definitely qualifies as one hell of a catch, Jay.

I'm really looking forward to being a homeowner,
and am salivating at the thought of good outdoor
antennas. Of course, my wife will probably have
an unending "honeydew" list, which I will be all
too glad to take care of (Funny thing - if she makes
a list or asks me to help, I help. Barring that, I
could definitely be a little more useful around the
house, though she always complements me on my
willingness to help out. But, as usual, I digress...)

I want to put up a rotatable 70 to 100 - foot tower,
and, barring that, at least a 70 - foot fixed tower big
enough to handle a couple of log periodics, and some
heavy wires draped, as well. I'm thinking a couple
of BIG yagis for FM on a tripod over a garage, perhaps.
