[TowerTalk] TowerTalk Digest, Vol 37, Issue 82 possible restrictions

[Joe - WD0M]

Unless you have a realtor who is 1) professional, 
as most are, or 2) a ham like my brother, who is 
a broker in WA state.  Check around.  Blanket 
condemnations don't do anyone justice.  The 
realtor who assisted us in our latest purchase 
was a consummate professional, knew I was a ham, 
and needed the ability to put up a tower.  She 
was excellent beyond belief and dedicated to 
making that happen.  She earned her commission.

Before I bought my home, I went to the HOA with a 
contract that allowed me out of the agreement if 
the HOA would not allow me to put up a tower.  I 
told the HOA that if I were not to receive 
written approval to put up a tower, I would 
cancel the sale.  They would then have two 
families irritated at them.  My SteppIR 4 element 
now rests proudly atop the 55 foot tower just 
outside the house in a grove of trees (my 
consideration for their granting me approval).

Best of luck,

Joe
