Churchill was also known to quote Ralph Waldo Emerson who said that "A 
foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds!"
Anyway move to South Louisiana - we get wind - a la hurricanes but also 
government so happy to have ham radio operators as emergency personnel that 
the last time the question of forcing tower permits was raised the Lafayette 
(La) city council would not even vote on it.

In the town of NorthBranford Ct.They have a place for towers it is the 
industrial zone!That was the first response from building dept. I tried in a 
very nice way that I was not a cell tower site or industrial but a ham radio 
operator and under a different set of rules and asked if they had a 
provision for such.Blank Stare.OK lets try again back with paper work in 
hand health district OK site planes tower specks measurement's case law on 
PRB-1 in hand.No good hafta give it to town attorney towers are in the 
industrial zone! Months pass elections you know,then after the elections low 
and behold paper comes back the town is required to give reasonable 
accommodation.Ok you have to get a variance for height my god what next.Set 
the date hung the sign the day comes get a call town clerk I am sorry can 
not get enough members to show up Well I guess I get it then right? wrong 
set for next month. Finally get the variance only to come up to town 
engineer, I am
 sorry the tower does not meet speck for wind load up dated for 110@3sec.in 
Ct.I gave him specs.on three different towers and then started asking about 
provisions to that rule. Finally got the permit as long as promised to crank 
it down during wind storms!I promised. Winston Churchill once said Never 
Never Never give up good advice Martin N1KGP73s
