[Towertalk] Building Permit or Not

[ny9h@arrl.net (Bill Steffey NY9H)]

I was not certain about how friendly the village would be. Permit or no permit.
Sooo  I sent a friend ham, who had no intention of putting up a tower.
He checked it out, found out NO SWEAT for a permit. Minimal fee, no 
drawings; "just install it per the manufacturer", "call us to check out 
your base , prior to pouring concrete"...and bingo.

Not surprising that the head of building dept. commented, "there was 
another ham in here last week putting up the same tower!!!!  I told him it 
was the season.
