[TowerTalk] Planning for the next move...

With all due respect to the posters, may I suggest that attacks on a 
category of persons or occupations are not appropriate for this ham radio 
reflector?

I have an interesting story;  I moved QTH from the suburbs to one in the
mountains.  While building the new location, I kept the original house but
ham radio fell silent due to all the work I was doing in the new place.  A
real estate agent representing potential buyers for a house behind us was
concerned about my roof top yagi which I had left there.  They looked into
radiation issues and exposure to their young kids and were concerned.   They
asked me to take it down.  It was not high on my priority so at first I said
no.  Then they offered me $5K to take it down on their closing of the house.
At that point I said okay and spent an hour taking it down.  Of course the
$5k went back into ham radio.

After that "comment" I feel the need
to chime in.

I must be lucky, the last three houses
I bought (2 in MA, 1 in AZ), could not
have been better. The Realtors were
quite truthful and helpful in each
transaction.

But then, perhaps the Laws and Realtor
Associations may be more ethical in
those two states.
