Congrats Dave... getting a tower up ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY in the land of 
NIMBY's, is difficult these days.

I really should get mine up before someone decides to outlaw them in my 
neighborhood or something.  Got 5 sections of Rohn 40 (old style - not 
45) that I'll probably only put three up and bracket it to the house... 
that stuff twists too much... and I don't need much height - I'm already 
on top of a hill, basically.

I'll let the NIMBY's keep their cardboard-covered houses in their 
pristine neighborhoods where you can't even fit a lawnmower between the 
houses, with all their rules and regulations about lawn height and 
garage doors and paint colors...

And I'll enjoy my big old fat real-brick house with a "difficult" 
interior layout, tiny closets, and a little land around it with a huge 
detached garage and ... eventually... my big fat tower strapped to it.

America.  Land of the not-so-free and home of the not-brave-enough to 
fight the Homeowners Association for the right to do whatever you want 
with your own home and surrounding land.

Again, congrats Dave.  Enjoy the antenna farm!

Nate
