[TowerTalk] Tower Permitting

[Tom Anderson]

When my XYL (Cheryl WY5H) and I bought our current house we put in the sales contract that there were NO antenna restrictions from the city and no HOAs, deed restrictions, etc.  We also made the Realtor get us a copy of the deed abstract that we could go over with a fine toothed comb just to make sure. This all left us an out in case something popped up. Nothing did and we have had a crank up 50 foot tower since 1993.

There were no restrictions, especially since too many people around us had those really BIG backyard type satelitte dishes, not the 3 foot ones on the roof from Dish or Direct TV.  ome  neighbors still have them and enjoy watching  downloads of raw news footage from the networks of stuff anywhere in the world. 

Tom, WW5L
