To be fair, I first explained exactly that and since I wasn't even living
there nor using the station there couldn't be any radiation. I was told the
prospective buyers had even gone to the ARRL website to investigate this and
were convinced the antenna had to go before they would buy (reminds me of
the old days when the antenna made me suspect for causing TVI when I wasn't
home). In any case the real estate broker did a great job managing all of
this.

So the yagi on the roof will hurt your neighbor's kids, but won't hurt the
people in the house it is mounted on, who are 20-30 feet away from said
antenna? Bet you were laughing all the way to the bank on that one.

You dog you! That not a bad way to handle that. I was never that cleaver.
At least as long as you did not sign anything and also make sure you are
clear on the radiation standards. Might end up with a very baligerent
neighbor but they might be anyway.

I have an interesting story; I moved QTH from the suburbs to one in

mountains. While building the new location, I kept the original house
but
ham radio fell silent due to all the work I was doing in the new
place. A
real estate agent representing potential buyers for a house behind us
was
concerned about my roof top yagi which I had left there. They looked
into
radiation issues and exposure to their young kids and were concerned.
They
asked me to take it down. It was not high on my priority so at first I
said
no. Then they offered me $5K to take it down on their closing of the
house.
At that point I said okay and spent an hour taking it down. Of course
the
$5k went back into ham radio.

After that "comment" I feel the need
to chime in.
I must be lucky, the last three houses
I bought (2 in MA, 1 in AZ), could not
have been better. The Realtors were
quite truthful and helpful in each
transaction.
But then, perhaps the Laws and Realtor
Associations may be more ethical in
those two states.

## He is correct. Real estate agents are typ 3 steps below scum bags.
They are not
truthful about anything. Thats based on buying and selling 3
homes and
one condo...and
hearing the horror stories from friends and work place cohorts. A
local
ham has a 150
ft rotating tower on his aprx .7 acre city lot. There used to be
5-8
acres of empty fields
behind him for 25 years. The acerage gets developed into a ton of
very
expensive
new homes and several new streets. When prospective clients
looked at
any of the
homes in the brand new subdivision, they were ALL told by EVERY
real
estate
agent here in town, and we have 1450 of em.... that tower mess ?
Oh,
dont worry
about that, its all coming down in a few months. Well its still
up and
running 20 years later.
By daughter got screwed over twice by real estate agents. I know
several real estate agents
personally, and a few owners of real estate business,s. They all
have the
same attitude. Lie
through your teeth, and collect the commission.
