After lots of BS and wrangling, it appears I will probably get a permit for my
tower in Belize. That's the good news. The bad news is that although I am
far from any airport the authorities want this tower lighted up. Although the
tower is 135 feet they want a "high intensity" light at the top and another in
the middle. I know it's BS but I am up the stump on this. I really am not too
keen on hooking up my electric mains to a 130 ft tower in an area prone to
lightning and I am certainly not too keen on having to lay out a fist full of
bucks for the lights. My contractor thinks we could put something up on top so
they will be satisfied and thinks we would never see the guys again.
Since all the authorities are far away (at least 80 miles) they certainly
aren't going to be able to tell a high intensity from a regular red light. To
top it off, none of the towers in the area are lit.
Any ideas? Litigation is not a viable option as I am a gringo in Belize.
