Who do you think will be the first person in the neighborhood
suspected of turning in the grow op?  How about the ham with the big

When I first put up my tower several neighbors called the city and
wanted to know if I worked for the CIA or something.  These antennas
draw lots of attention.  In most cases, negative attention.
