    A Shirar who is a Ham. Where to live?

    Hampshire?

    Looking at this house now...



    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.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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...................

    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?

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