[TowerTalk] Tower regulatory climate in Fort Collins - Loveland, CO area

[WA3GIN]

Why not contact the local radio club in the preferred neighborhood or 
district and then contact the local jurisdiction permits and code 
enforcement agency.  Between the two you'll get plenty of history on 
previous failed and successful ham radio tower projects.

Good Luck,

p.s.sounds like useful info that clubs could have posted on their web sites 
for new hams and those moving into the area.
