You can check your location specifically for proximity and glide slope limits 
on the FCC web site. You need to have your browser set up to dial in direct to 
their 800 number exactly as you would for the Universal Licensing System ( 
http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls/ and follow instructions at "Connecting to ULS" 
button on left.)

Go to http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/antenna/ after doing the above install. Use the 
"TOWAIR" button at the left to check your installation. You will need your 
exact lat/lon coordinates in degrees/minutes/seconds.

It happily told me "no airport within 5 miles"
