Other than many companies do not allow reselling or more than one

Remember now, some (if not most) of us have the tower strictly due to the PRB1 and that is only supporting FCC97  use. I have that restriction and knowing my neighbors, they will report any deviation they can imagine. I can't even put up a TV antenna without them complaining.
