Steve,
In your reply to Dick you say that a crank up tower can make the permit process
more difficult. I'm wondering why? In my community they are looked on as no
different than a fixed tower at their maximum height, but in some areas I know
they make it easier to put up a larger tower (with the restriction that they be
retracted when not in use). We have a neighboring community that almost
REQUIRES crank ups. They have a 30' height restriction for the tower when it's
not in use, but no restriction on the maximum extended height when it is in
use. (One guy put a packet cluster antenna on top of his HF Yagis. It's "in
use" 24 hours every day.)
Just curious.
