Just curious as to why 55 ft was chosen. Seems like 65ft (about 1 wavelength
on 20m)
which would allow a good low angle radiation pattern on 14Mhz, would be
better for hams. I wonder if they thought about reasonable ham
requirements for emergency communications, etc. when they picked that
number?

Greetings TowerTalkians =
Good news and bad news:
The Good News... my city allows towers and
antennas, and there are NO PERMITS and
NO INSPECTIONS !!
The Bad News is there is a limit of 55 feet.
Fortunately, that suits my plans and my budget, so I do not
have to fight City Hall to get permission go higher.
At least not yet...
So... up to a height of 55 feet, it is, essentially, unregulated.
Cool, eh? Can ya dig it? Unbelievable.
[I figure you guys might understand my glee...picture me
giggling a dirty-old-man-kind-of-laugh under my breath all
day like I know a dirty little secret no else knows... ;-)
