Hi neighbor. :)
Howdy!

I'm in the Benton County boot-heel just off US412,
about halfway between Siloam and Springdale.
Down by the river?
I love that area.

Back in '89, I chose the site and did the paperwork
for that 450 foot tower just west of Tontitown.
Know that site well. I worked for the local cable operator for 8 years starting as a cable guy and working my way up to a Network Engineer.
We did some work for them as well. We had a headend off of brush creek road just up the hill from that site.

Also worked a few months as CE for KKOW in Pittsburg.
During my stint with the cable operator I wound up in Pittsburg pretty often, we call it the crown jewel of southeast Kansas.
I liked the town, especially the speed trap near the university.

The "big one?" Would that be U of A, or Walm*rt?
Yes.

The only Fayetteville ham I've met is W6JVE.
Can't say I know that call. I am into the ham community, but not until relatively recently. My first club meeting was about 3 years ago.
A homebrew op?
My Grounded B+ thread could use competent input.
Good luck with that!
Competency in actually making homebrew electronics work is not my forte. I can fix things all day, but creating from scratch is a challenge.
