[TowerTalk] Help! Need specific tower/ant. photos for Zoning Board

["John WA2GO" <xnewyorka@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am filing a for a Building Permit in conjunction purchasing a great qth. 
(21 hilltop acres at 41.7068N x 73.7543W)
The town has a 35' height restriction, but I think I can overcome it with 
the help of PRB-1 and a very well-prepared application. (I am following 
K1VR's book to the letter.)

I would like to include in my application some specific antenna photos that 
simulate what I will be putting up.  If you have a hilltop qth on a wooded 
hill, with a tower high enough to get your antennas above the treetops, but 
the view of the tower(s) is mostly or completely obscured by trees, could 
you please email me some photos of your antennas taken from known distances.

Ideally, what I would like is as many of the following as possible, labeled 
so I can tell what they are:

a photo from 100' - 200' away
a photo taken from 400' - 500' away
a photo taken from 750' away
a photo taken from 1,000 ft away
a photo taken from 2,000' away
a photo taken from X' away, where X is the distance at which an eagle-eye 
(or binoculars) can still see the antenna, or at least be "kind of, sort of" 
able to tell that it was there, but with the naked eye you could BARELY be 
able to tell it is there - it's so hard to see that you almost have to 
imagine it. (And I need to know what x is.)

Ideally, the photos (and especially the long distance photos) would show the 
tower/antennas as being very difficult to see.

Preferably Rohn 25G or 45G type tower or equivalent (let me know what type 
it is.)
I am planning to apply for a 140' tower, a 120' tower, and a 100' tower, and 
possible a 160M 4-square. (4x130').   You don't need to have all this though 
- even one tower is fine.

I floated a 3' weather balloon up to 150' and took photos, so if you want to 
see a photo of that for comparison to your situation, write me and I'll send 
it to you.

Thanks in advance - it's for a good cause!!!

73,

John
