The town of Longmeadow MA is in the process of looking at restricting
where cell phone towers can be erected within their town. Could this
effect amateur towers in this town? Could Longmeadow's decision set a
precident that could affect hams in many other communities? I don't
know much about the story, just that they are looking at restricting
"towers" in the town to certian areas, e.g. commercial zoned land or
city property.
What do people think, should we be concerned? I think it's worth
looking at.
I do not live in the town of Longmeadow, but I do live in Mass, and
what concerns me is that this could set a precident, or a wave of other
similar restrictions that could cause headaches for hams. How do I go
about informing the town/committee of the existing laws concerning
amateur radio towers in this state and federally?
