700 feet MSL or AGL? Barely matters I suppose at Seminole (120ft AGL).

Reminds me of getting instruction at West Palm Beach. I had been flying exclusively AGL but the instructor asked me to use MSL. With trepidation of the extreme math I would have to handle while in the air, I asked "What is the field elevation?". Answer, "20 feet". Dodged a bullet there.
