[TowerTalk] antenna heights and the FAA/FCC

[Jim Brown]

> the same one that KEEPS ruling out property unfortunately in this "rules and regulation" age... anyway the house is 4554M from the nearest airport - and according to TOWAIR the tower I WANT to have is 55' too tall (160' tower). So I have to register the tower with the FCC... but to do that I have to have a "no hazards" declaration from the FAA!

Gee -- I certainly hope that a Rule or Regulation based entirely on 
enhancing the safety of aviation is not considered excessive!

A suggestion. If you haven't already done so, it would be worth running 
HFTA on your location to get a good assessment of your NEED for a 160 ft 
tower, and how MUCH you would benefit from it.  Some of us need them and 
some don't.
