Folks:
A ham friend in Argentina says on some contest weekends, the local sports
stadiums sprout towers and antennas from the local contest clubs. I always
thought they would be a great place to put up a tower, or to use existing
light standards that often approach 200 ft. I found a website of the
Stadium Mnaagers association. I wonder, if properly approached, stadium
management would allow hams/contesters to set up semi permanent, or perhaps
permanent towers/antennas or to use existing tall structures at the stadiums
for antennas and contest operations?
Perhaps an approach involving activiities/improvements towards disaster
operatoins at the stadiums could catch interest of the Management companies
that run them...Or....maybe the answer to their "whats in it form me" cant
be very attractive, so they would wirte off any cooperative venture with
contester hams/ARES hams, as being too much of a liability. Any ideas that
could make a Stadium a viable antenna tower/contesting/hamming QTH?
