>  My insurance agent told me that the tower is considered  an "accessory 
structure" -- same as "appurtenant (auxiliary?)  structure???? -- IF it 
is "attached to" the building. The "attachment" may  be nominal but 
cannot be merely the electrical  connections.


        A customer of mine in  W6-land had a piece of plumbers tape (that 
soft metal with holes in it) attached  with a hose clamp to the tower leg and 
nailed to the side of the house so that  made it legally "attached".
 
        Yes, it's an accessory  structure. Read Ray's article and be 
enlightened. He also wrote the Insurance  chapter in my UP THE TOWER book. He DA 
MAN!
