Hey, I've got a whole garage full of stuff that made me feel better when
I bought it, even if I never even ran RF through it, but just thought I

No need for extra portapotties with the array, but beer is good.
Cheerleaders? I think the proverbial cold day is more likely to occur
than cheerleaders (in the athletic contest sense) for the "radio team"
at a school.
My cousin used to race cars and he said never underestimate the
psychological value of shiny new gear.
