My folks go out once a week, 6 months of the year and play darts and have a few drinks, yet my ham radio station is a complete waste of money. LOL
They probably spend 200 bucks a month plus their 10 buck a day smoking habit. So I guess over a period of 5 to 10 years, what would be wrong with a 10K plus antenna system.
I had my Mom help me to frame my ARRL certificate this past weekend and my brother in law made a joke and asked what's it worth, as he was puffing on 1 of his smokes from a 10 buck a day pack. A hundred bucks? I replied worth as much as his Jeff Gordon sign up in his man cave. LOL
Glad I'm no longer a smoker and living in Alberta. LOL
