They are the universes way of nudging us to open ourselves to different things; to charity, selflessness, service to others in a way that cleanses the body of harmful RF energy. A time to sell all of our ham gear and donate the proceeds to charity. Got ya! Nah, I'm trying to figure out how to replace my 40/80 fan dipoles with yagis and install a phased receive array for 160 to complement my existing inverted L. To accomplish this it would work best to move to a qth with a few more acres and get away from the dang commercial BC antenna 200 yards away.
