That's an incredibly silly statement.  How does the ham avoid erroneous 
claims that his tower was the cause of a decrease (or lack of historical 
increase) in surrounding home values that might otherwise be due to 
various unrelated market factors?  That's the "blank cheque" nobody in 
their right mind would sign.
