[TowerTalk] Cell phone on towers

[Ed Karl]

One of the things I had to do "in the country" is to agree that my tower 
would not
be used for commercial purposes. The Planning & Zoning folks were 
positive about
ham radio, but we have probably the ugliest cell tower in the country in 
the middle
of town. I think that begot the "Telecommunications Ordinance" that I had
to apply under. No real problem, fast and encouraging.

Having said all that, you no longer will control the tower, they will. 
They will determine
if you can rig to change or maintain your own equipment. They will be 
able to show
up anytime to do work, including possible interference with your own 
operation

Then, as mentioned is power. You will change your home into a commercial 
place of
business, like it or not.

Having said all that, I wish you well in your deliberations.

73!
