[Amps] new amp race / antenna take-off angle

[Alek Petkovic]

Not in this part of there world, there ain't no 10m limit.

Most suburban masts are around 15m to 20m high. All applications are 
assessed on an individual basis. There are moves afoot to have a 10m 
minimum ratified across the country but that has not happened yet. If it 
does, it means, you will not have to ask for permission to put up a mast 
of that height. Anything bigger, you'll have to ask.

Of course, in rural areas, the sky is the limit.

73, Alek.
