If any local radio clubs have e-mail reflectors, the information could be
posted there, as well.  

I belong to the Potomac Valley Radio Club, where a lot of DX-ing and
contesting take place.  It's sad when an estate sale is going on and nobody
can be found to just move to and buy the house in the country with antennas
and towers already installed and in working condition.  Younger people can't
always afford to buy what the retirees are ready to sell.  I'm glad I was
able to get a house 30 years ago, and set up a decent HF station within
walking distance of a shopping mall and a Washington Metro rail station.
Zoning ordinances have changed and prices have gone up since then, and this
calibre of HF station is much harder to come by now.
