   Well, it's up to you how you prioritize your time. Personally I am active   
   on "the air" and only put in an hour or so into the BBS.   
      
   My daily outdoor activity takes about 2 hrs and is necessary.   
      
   HG>I'm however allowed a wire antenna or two and a 144 MHz beam on top   
      
   DS>   You're lucky...we can't even consider those options where I'm at.   
      
   I chose this housing on the grounds that I wwould be allowed antennas.
