Hampshire? (http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/43w578-Plank-Rd_Hampshire_IL_60140_M78739-47773)

Looking at this house now...

http://p.rdcpix.com/v01/l0f37bf43-m0x.jpg

0.43 acres out in the country. Room to put up an array and for CQWW I can put an antenna out in the corn field.

Just a thought, anyway. I drug the XYL there kicking and screaming, and she had some remarks after driving into the driveway. After that, she loved it and wants to move there.

Looks nice. If you do move in, get rid of the shrubbery in line with the section between the garage and the main house. It is known as a crook nook and the shrubs provide extra cover.
Why that was the first thing off the top of my head? Just a suggestion. Not a paranoid fantasy. If you want some real paranoia, ask a cop about that spot.
Cornfield? You have read Children of the Corn by Stephen King, right? A tower with the right RF will take care of any stray corn kids.

Lots of room, not many neighbors nearby and, judging by the satellite view, a couple of big trees to anchor one end of a dipole. Looks good.

[K7SGJ]

Not a bad looking place. Is that walkway between the haouse and the garage a permanent structure? I can't tell if it's enclosed or open. And a nice crank-em-up tower would look just dandy out back. And a ~1/2 acre? Lots a room for antennas and a pool, and a pond, and gazeebo, and, and, and...................

Are all those people still following you?

Thanks. It is an enclosed walkway. Sliding doors on the north and on the south. Full basement. Lots of room.

Looks like you have a two-car garage plus an extra bit of space for storage or maybe a shop. Where would the shack go?

Just you and the Pope and like I said earlier, you can have my french fries.

[K7SGJ]

Oh sure, now they're all cold and hard, and sealed for all time in grease.

Hey, you didn't want them earlier and now you complain? We're coming up to a refinery. Throw them in a vat in there for a few seconds and you'll be good to go.

Looks like a really nice place there. Nice sized lot too.

Probably setup the shack in the basement. All the way on the west side so I can run cables out to the antennas in the side yard. I would like to do some vertical phased arrays. I think there is enough room for a pair of verticals for 80M out there. 75M won't work. Only 80M.

Yeah.

Edit: I have a voice for CW.

And a face for radio!

For the QTH they'll never forget, there's always Intercourse, PA.

Not into Intercourse? There's always Blue Ball, PA.

Easy to remember QTH's. Never again be forgotten for a QSL card and split pile-ups like a hot knife thru butter.

You forgot Bird In Hand and Paradise. Never mind Dayton, if you like good food you'll never forget your first trip to Pennsylvania Dutch country, it's ALL Paradise.
