So, I made the mistake? OK I made the mistake. Now grow up and respond to my latest comment concerning my requirements for a retirement home. Don't have an answer? That's fine as well. I just looked up your qth on Google maps. Are you allowed to install an external antenna (roof mounted beam and vertical in the back yard) at your QTH? Don't know if I want to live in your part of the state but that looks like the type of home I could move into. Have you been able to find those type of homes (preferably on the gulf coast near Tampa/Carolwood) that allow homeowners to use their property to enjoy a (federally) legal en devour. If not, let me state that I am not interested in sailing nor do I want to have to sail in order to make use of my Extra class license. I state my license class because I worked hard for that ticket and I took the 20 WPM CW test at the FCC office on Varick street in Manhattan.
