... and I, in view of all the PRB-1 history, would argue that
establishing a line below 70 feet we risk giving all the cities
that would like to restrict towers a perfect argument for an
excessively low height. Can anyone hear, "well the rules of
XYZ competitive event define a class with tower heights no more
than 40 feet. If that is good enough for amateur competitions
it must be high enough for 'effective communications' as envisioned
by the federal government and thus their limited preemption only
applies below 40 feet."
