Unfortunately, that's how all news is covered nowadays:
bad news *is* news. Good news isn't.

While I applaud the efforts of those getting articles in

stores don't carry it any more.

Yes, that's a new locator and location in my .sig.
While a permanent antenna installation is not likely,
the new place has excellent sky access to the south,
and it's no problem to trundle a tripod out to
the driveway. :-)
