Just wait until there is a major earthquake in or around Palmdale (That IS
earthquake country!) ..and communications are cut off. Then hams can say,
"Too bad, if we had even the most basic 2 meter antenna, we would have been
able to step in and provide emergency communications for you....alas...we
don't, so.....".
Ok, so I am being simplistic.....
Seriously, perhaps a better approach would be the emergency communications
tact...there are numerous recent examples to show. Elected officials
respond even better to emergency scenarios..it is the thing to do
today.......

Subject: [TowerTalk] 12-14-2008 update on Palmdale ham radio ban
Many hams (if not most) would like an absolute law allowing them to put up
towers/antennas... This is not going to happen in your lifetime, or mine...
Even as Palmdale heats up there are innumerable other communities where
people are, this very minute, complaining to the municiple authorities about
antennas of all kinds - including 'your' ham radio antennas - and also
parked RV's, lawn ornaments, political signs, the color of the paint, weeds,
sofa's on the front porch, and on, and on... Elected officials respond to
those who elected them - it is called the democratic system of government..
