What a world.
I refused to help a lawyer from California who wanted to illegally
use an amplifier to communicate in the ham bands with his
amplifier, and he threatened the manufacturer with a lawsuit for
"mental anguish" (among other things).
This tower thing is just as stupid. Property devaluation is one thing,
but mental distress? Nonsense. I sure hope they fight this one
through appeals processes, I'm sure it would be overturned.
