[TowerTalk] Tower Collapse in South Dakota

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Oh well, it was pretty utopian.  A ham I know fought a long legal battle 
against a neighbor who claimed the setback should be the total of the 
tower height plus half the longest horizontal element of the antenna on 
it.  The ham won, but it wasn't easy.
