And don’t forget, Part 97 says (in one of the most straightforward, easy to
understand, and beautiful) federal regulations that amateurs are allowed to put
up a 200 foot tower without lighting! Arrl has excellent assistance packages
for tower issues plus a network of volunteer lawyers to advise you. Get them
involved early. They will be most interested, I would think. The one thing
that would modify all of this is distance from and airport boundary.
