Absolutely.  It's war time in Concord.  Joe may not have the best case to fight
it out over, however.  He only wants a small (very small) tower.  The last
application that was turned down was for a 24' free standing tower.  We need to
apply for a 72' + tower and fight that one.  Then everyone with equal or more
modest aspirations will benefit.  There are approximately 400 hams in Concord.

Joe is pretty depressed right now, but I think he will be back.  In any event,
there will soon be a war chest fund established to put this flagrant violation
of individual rights (not to mention PRB-1) where it belongs.  The Concord
planning commission will be begging us to put up 24' towers before this is
over.  They made a big mistake by being so unreasonable.

Stay tuned...
