[TowerTalk] A Sad Precedent

[Alan D. Gray]

Yada, Yada, Yada..

The tower company, with the help of the kind folks in local gov't, thought
they could stick it to a property owner for their own selfish gain.  Now
they gotta pay...tis really all too sad.

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.
