[TowerTalk] Help in planning a new QTH

[Joe - WDØM]

I agree - its a very unfair statement.  Want to buy property in 
Washington?  My brother is a realtor there AND a ham.  It certainly is 
incumbent upon the BUYER to check things out - relying totally on a realtor 
can be a mistake - I'm sure you wouldn't buy most things that way.  I've 
purchased property all over the US (USAF- Retired) and found realtors to be 
an honest bunch for the most part - like the rest of society.  When it came 
to putting up antennas, I did my own research, with the realtor's and 
occasionally county clerk's help.
