Folks:

If the daunting task of permitting, engineering, constructing, and 
implementing a fixed tower at your home runs into so many roadblocks, 
hinderances, can you/we rethink this?

If you purchased a motorized, self supporting, tower trailer...say a 65 
footer,  from a commercial supplier, and parked it beside, behind, your 
house, or elsewhere on your property, set the outriggers or other temporary 
structural support members, and mounted your antennas on it, could you be 
exempt from some (any?) of the regulatory headaches that accompany a 
permanent installation?
As long as the tower trailer was licensed, and able to be moved, could 
authorities argue effectively against its use as a temporary antenna support 
in your yard?  If it worked so well that it became 'long term' temporary, 
would that be grounds for the opposition to demand that you stop?
