[TowerTalk] Wheaton Towers and W9WU

["S. Markowski Jr." <km9m-zig@comcast.net>]

Hi All,

I can understand the show of support for N9NA. Please heed Jim's (W9WU) request to back off. (not mailing QSL cards to the neighbors).  At my old residence, Jim got the hams of Burbank, IL a 65 ft tower height limit, after the city threatened litigation to have towers removed, and make us live with a 12 ft antenna height requirement.  He knows his business (and ours), and this appears to be moving in the right direction.  P.O.'ing the neighbors would more than likely have a detrimental effect.  Let the man and the system work!

Guys:

I represent John Siepmann, N9NA, who is the subject of the today's 
Chicago Tribune article.  We're almost home to a successful tower permit 
and I don't think stirring up the neighbors will help us.

Mr. Robertson is entitled to his opinion titlting at windmills, and 
we're ahead at the moment.   The City of Wheaton will eventually have a 
decent ordinance for ham radio antennas.  Harassing the neighbors won't 
make my job any easier.

Please lay off.
73, Jim O'Connell, W9WU  ARRL Volunteer Counsel
