[TowerTalk] USCG Tower Disapproved

[N6KJ]

Aw, who needs towers.  Can't we just rewrite the laws of physics or
something.  C'mon, aesthetics is FAR more important than Search & Rescue, right?
Last time I tried to get a tower permit, one of the city planners (after saying
not a chance) suggested that I just put a wire around the eaves of my house.
He claimed it works really good.  Gee, can't the Coast Guard just use a wet
noodle hanging off a tree someplace?
