Gee I've always hoped we'd get Wineries on the Air. There are over 10,000 bonded wineries in the US and at least one in every state.?

That said I also live about a mile from a Walmart - 10 minutes by bicycle!
As I see it THIS has more advantages (especially for 'mature' operators) there are "washrooms", food, medical supplies and some even have a McDonalds - and What a Promo for Ham-Radio!
And the beauty of this is a lot the pre-work has already been done - every Walmart has a store number!!!
Imagine saying to the XYL - just off to Walmart (need anything?) and returning an hour or so later with 10 Activation's and a carton of milk!?
Activations could be on VHF/UHF and HF and YEAR ROUND - operating from that quiet corner of the parking lot - you know, where the RV's Park!
Probably follow a similar set of guidelines to POTA? (or become an 'honorable non-employee of the Month' and have your pic in the lobby!)
