Ditto Dave

I moved to a 13 acre site and more less the same thing happened, that was
10 years ago.

I lost my 15M tower 15 Months ago due to a nicopress fitting failure.  I
reinstalled the
tower last July. In September I was cited for installing a tower without a
permit.  I have
been going round and round with the new guard for almost 9 Months.  They
wanted site plan and
a WI PE to sign off on everything.  I did that, now the want a failure
analyst because the tower
is not 100% set back just 85%.  I am in the middle of that now.  
They have also attempted to involve my other 3 towers.  

I wonder about contest stations in the future.
