[TowerTalk] AT&T/SBC Location Communities in Texas

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Bob,
Thanks for your info.
It would take a big opportunity for me to move, but I am sure that there
will be some who will have fairly immediate use of this info.  This is not
based on any business plans, but general experience with corporate mergers -
someone always seizes an opportunity and I just figured that my colleagues
who are hams, should have some background info because they will probably be
very busy working and planning a move, leaving little time to consider this
issue in detail.

Vy 73,

I bought a place just south of Farmersville, N. of Lavon. Unincorporated, 
and NO tower restrictions whatsoever, according to the email sent me by the 
County Zoning Board. No inspections required as long as there's no electric 
power to the structure
