Rick, I live in Wisconsin and the latest trend is to impose county-wide ordinances limiting antenna towers. It doesn't matter how far you live from town, or if you own a section (640 acres), you stil
George brings up some very good points here, One of the real killers to us is the fact that the whole 'RF Radiation' idea has been blown way out of proportion, becuase the term 'radiation' is taken f
