Sounds like a testament to your skill as an operator, Steve.

Anyone with money can have a great antenna farm, but that doesn't make

Heck, there's a group out this way in the Phoenix area who routinely 
goes out to a park and tries to load up lawn chairs, umbrellas and the like.
I understand that someone once loaded up a school bus.
