This guy got off easy. I live in "Live Free or Die" New Hampshire and had to spend over $25K in legal fees to protect three towers on six acres that are almost invisible. (New Hampshire Supreme Court
Bill, At the ZBA hearings that were held after that, the ZBA actually did a really good job of doing what the Supreme court ordered. They held hearings on what was necessary to "reasonably accomodate
Jim, Originally I asked for 3 100 foot towers, but I decided to settle for the 90 footers as not needing a variance. The 40 meter tower has a fairly steep drop off in ALL directions for about a mile.
Man, I can't believe what I started here. I sort of understand what Bill was saying when he said that I was pushing my neighbors in looking for 3 90 foot towers. He just pulled the trigger before he
I think you're still missing the point Bill. Rest assured that I was there on the day they talked about majority rule and one of the points that has been stressed ever since day 1 is that majority ru
Ahh, but in a way it is. For example, in the next community from me Marchand's attorney was on the planning board (in New Hampshire planning boards propose zoning ordinance changes). In order to atta
In effect, this situation actually did apply to me. I was the actual subject of Marchand v. Hudson. What the decision said was that under NH Accessory Use Law, my three tower installation was forbidd

Although I'm not a lawyer, I've had some experience in this area. Although my case (Marchand v. Hudson) is not binding outside New Hampshire, it is a state Supreme Court case and carries considerable
Dave, I constructed a four square for 80 out of tubing from Texas Towers. I used the 6 foot sections (UPS shippable) and constructed it with eleven 6 foot pieces telescoping from the largest size the
WB0W makes a nice one that works for 25/45 (They're the same). You have to go buy the aluminum tube, but the top and clamp he makes are excellent. I've got one of his and a Rohn "erection fixture". I
Haven't you heard the Radio Morania tape with the folk song "The Sixes"? Oh the sixes Oh the sixes They come from California And they all have kilowatts And they all have beams ....... 73, Jerry, K0T
I use that stuff all over, I color code for what it is. Green is ground radials. Black is ground interconnects for the two wire beverages, Brown and Orange are for the separate wires of the beverages
Another option you can use is to add a USB-COM adapter. They cost less than 10 bucks and work just fine. I'm using the one COM port on my computer to talk to an Orion and a USB port drives the RigBla
Hey, I've been to Texas, but I didn't have to pay $50 or roll doubles to get out. Just visiting. :-) I like New England. Closer to Europe. 73, Jerry, K0TV, No tower restrictions any more. ___________
Take the MFJ-269 and put it in the mode you use to find distance to faults. Then take the two phasing lines, short them at the ends, and verify that they have nulls at the same frequency. That verifi
