Anyone on the list here, live in Arlington, Texas and know what the city allows there?
   
  Several calls to the Code Enforcement folks have gone unanswered and unreturned.
   
  Thanks,

Hello to Dave and the list,  

Most cities now have their city codes on their web sites. Type in the city name, state, and have fun.

In Dave's case, it only took me about 15 minutes, on a really slow DSL connection, to find that Arlington, TX appears to have a 50' height restriction for ham antennas. Unfortunatly, their codes are a bit of a bummer to navagate. Not to orderly or user friendly (what else is new).

So Dave, all you have to do is get to the "right" inspector and have a chat. AND stay cool. All you're looking for is info as to if you even need a permit, or what you really need to get one.

Good luck
