Ahhhhh. Bartow. The biggest yet quietest airfield on the planet!! I did my practice engine failures etc. there on my PPL checkride and I don't remember hearing or seeing another aircraft there the whole time we were buzzing around the circuit. In fact, I think just about all OFT's checkrides end up there because it's so quiet.

P.S. If anyone flying in Florida wants a challenge, then try a couple of touch and go's at Orlando Country (X04 - I think). Possibly the shortest and narrowest runway you'll ever see. Got me landing on the centreline quick enough!!
