I have not seen the Fort Worth Antenna restrictions, but,
while to my knowledge not ever enforced, and not on my
2-el Maco quad I had at the time, and while they MIGHT
have been changed, the original Dallas antenna rules had 
a volume restriction, intended to prevent you from
sun-shading your neighbor, that any quad exceeded.

Thanks guys. It would only be supporting a 2 element Quad. So. It would 
probably work. Looks like we are moving and antenna space will be EXTREMELY 
limited.  
Appreciate the information!

The sad thing is, I suspect those old towers are better than the new ones since 
Rohn no longer makes it.  I bought a new HBX-56 and there was some light rust 
forming on the edges before I even got it up in the air.
