Welcome to the list Mike!
Its all about haveing fun while helping out.
Sounds like you have made the most of your limited space lot.
Have noticed Ham's with big lots, when asked about doin the antennas, kind
go ah someday.
Folks with limited space tend to focus on the key to sucess "the antenna".
All the best Mike!
