David,

Please be careful just where you swing that tar brush. I may be an 
"Extra lite" with less than four years on my license, and only had to 
pass a 5 WPM test, but I have built 3 Elecraft rigs, use wire antennas 
that I erected, and work 20 WPM. I've earned my share of wallpaper and 
worked good DX at QRP levels, all at the bottom of the (this) sunspot cycle.

And I'm not alone on this list.
