[TowerTalk] Opinions on Tower permission issue....

[Ragnar Otterstad]

It is easier to get forgivness than permission !  (  This is not inferring
anything political !!!  Hi )

That is what I did.  In addition I have painted EVERYTHING,
tower,antennas,rotor, cables
with olive green paint - same colour as used on military vehicles.(
Camuflage if you will !)

G4BUE told me that he had sprayed some brownish pattern over the green,
really like a military thing
and got away with his Versatower that way.  

My tower has been up 7 years now !

YES

I had to buy a new TV antenna for a neighbour to get him on UHF instead of
VHF and that cured it.
The whole thing costed me less than 100 dlrs, which I think was a steal !
