[TowerTalk] Insurance, and tower as "accessory structure"

[Alan NV8A]

What are people doing about insurance for their towers and antenna systems?

My agent said that if the tower is "attached to" the house it is covered 
as an "accessory structure" under my homeowner's insurance. The 
"attachment" has to be something more than just the electrical cables 
but need not really support anything. I asked US Tower about this, but 
they said that the tower should not be attached to the building in any 
way. Nevertheless, I am thinking of a fairly flimsy brace from the 
raising fixture (it's a tilt-over tower) to the adjacent house; any 
thoughts on this?
