Re: [TowerTalk] Zoning again

[Pete Smith <n4zr@contesting.com>]

Bob, if you haven't already read 
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/antenna-restrictions.html>, 
it's worth the time.  For example, it specifically states that PRB-1 does 
not specify a minimum acceptable tower, and it lists the states which have 
incorporated PRB-1-like language in statutes.  Unfortunately, PA is not one 
of them.

There is a link on that page to a paper on tower height and communications 
effectiveness, and a 1-page summary of PRB-1.

I don't know why Hamlaw doesn't work for you, but that's where the true 
experts on this hang out -- there and at the ARRL.  You might also find a 
Volunteer Counsel in your area who could advise you.  There are 12 listed 
in PA -- again, that page provides the link.  They mostly don't work for 
free or cheap, but ARRL does ask them to give an initial consultation 
gratis.  Good luck.

73, Pete N4ZR
