Fellows, I just did not give it a lot of thought when I sent the =
earlier message out with the complete tower ordinance attached. Just did =
not realize that attachments would not make it through the reflector.
With that in mind I have copied the most important paragraph of the =
tower ordinance and pasted it below. It is really not important what the =
rest of the ordinance says. If your tower (100 feet max) is to be use =
solely for amateur radio the rest of the regulations in the tower =
ordinance DO NOT apply.
If you can get your city / county people to buy into this as we did then =
you are home free.
Good Luck !
