Greetings TowerTalkians = Good news and bad news: The Good News... my city allows towers and antennas, and there are NO PERMITS and NO INSPECTIONS !! The Bad News is there is a limit of 55 feet. Fort
How is the ordinance worded? Park Township's (near Holland, MI -- but it's not the municipality in which I live) ordinance refers, I am told, to the height of the "tower." Thus some hams have argued
Alan: One thing you can do that a lot of friends of mine have done. This would be to put up the tower you have planned with whatever antenna on top you have or are planning on buying. Use this a whil
So what city and state is this? I may need ta MOOVE! 73, Rusty, na5tr _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@

Richards, amazing......I'd "push"it one step further, " but you said 55 ft tower, I didn't see anything about mast restriction !!" HI, Steve K1PEK _______________________________________________ ____
That's all fine. But don't forget mother nature's restrictions -- the interaction of weather, your tower, how you install it, what you put on it, and the laws of physics. 73, Jim Brown K9YC _________
I would be very reluctant to challenge a politically entity which allows a given tower height by putting up that height of tower, as we understand the meaning, with mast and antennas up higher. Why m
Just curious as to why 55 ft was chosen. Seems like 65ft (about 1 wavelength on 20m) which would allow a good low angle radiation pattern on 14Mhz, would be better for hams. I wonder if they though
55 ft seems to be a common number all around the country. It's probably just like boilerplate zoning ordinances and boilerplate CC&Rs. Someone picked that number long ago and others just followed sui
I live in the very West end of Wyoming, Michigan, what they call the "panhandle." Looks like we are fairly close neighbors. Did you perhaps work the MS 200 Mile bike ride event or the Spring Lake rac
Good deal for K8JHR. The small Utah town I live in requires a permit for the tower foundation, everything else is unrestricted. Guess it helps to have a former ham in the building ordinance departmen
I LOVE THE CAROLAN BELL STORY !!! I told neighbors my smaller loop antennas are "bat deflectors" that interfere with the bats' internal radar and keep them out of the yard. What you describe is calle
Interesting points all around, But consider this TowerTalkians as you ponder what I might do: The up side of all this is that I am good friends with the City Prosecuting Attorney (criminal side) and
This is a no-brainer. Move to Virginia where we have one of the best antenna laws in the country. In a nutshell, antennas and towers are permitted by right. Limited to 75 or 200 ft, depending on whet
It all depends on where you live and how they interpret the ordinance. If the inspector says the antenna is the structure then it doesn't matter if it's on a mast of what ever. That's the height limi
As a Ham Radio Operator, I wrote the Tower Ordinance here in Scandia, MN. in 1998 ( then a Township, now a City). What they had then was a re-write of Washington County's ordinance. What a joke that
