Mike: I would posit we - the "top band community" - need to promote increased
operations ---------- fuggedabout "decent rx antennas" --- just get more hams
operating on top band:
- emphasize the Maunder minimum
- emphasize the rise of efficiency of small lot antennas, as a resulting
"benefit"
- emphasize the benefits of a new low band rcv arrays
It's about encouraging hams to explore top band, as the "minimums" descend on
us.....not, necessarily, encouraging "ultimate stations" --- i.e., get 'em on
the band......

...AND THEN there is the issue of when people *can* actually listen; by
that I mean, they have a decent rx antenna at their disposal.
I've noticed quite a few locals (W1) with increasing interest in 160. The
low-space rx antenna options out there are attracting interest. This is
good. Bring on the minimum.
