Fwd: Re: [Towertalk] ABC Home Owners Assoc Expose

[Howard Klein]

A friend of mine who lives in South Florida went one step better. His 
property is on the perimeter of the gated community but the adjoining 
property belongs to the County. He obtained permission to erect a 70 ft 
tower with a 4 element quad on the other side of the fence since he is 
active (?) in emergency radio.
