Hams often tell me I'm not "allowed" to have a 300-foot without FCC 
permission, and even claim I should "ask FCC permission" every time I 
install a new amateur antenna on my registered structure, or some 
other registered structure!

The  FCC only cares if the FAA approved the tower (assuming it needs 
approved), if the tower conforms to the FAA-approved marking and 
lighting (if needed), and if the registration number and the slip of 
paper the FCC issues is properly posted.73, Tom W8JI
