I've been thinking about last night's virtual meeting. While I was happy 
to showcase my station along with the others, I failed to showcase twp 
stations about which I already know a fair bit and have pictures: Jim 
Richardson, N5OHL, and Jorge Duarte, N3JDG. I'd like to get more station 
pictures and notes. I want to have modest stations to showcase. My 
station is nice, I've been working on it for a long time, and I'm on a 
10 ac  surrounded by 10 ac lots in the middle of a section of mostly 
pasture land away from the RF noise of a city. But I don't want 
potential members to think this is the *only* way to be a successful 
DXer because it isn't! I have only 277 entities. We have members on the 
DXCC Honor Roll that live in the middle of much denser neighborhoods in 
the middle of cities. N5OHL comes to mind! Before my  tenure ends as 
President, I want show potential DXers, and potential members, that 
anyone can do this with good operating skills and wire antennas at 
reasonable heights can get their DXCC.

So let's see your stations!

73 & CU in the pileups,
