Comments on: Would your government give you a permit for this tower? http://k9jy.com/blog/2009/01/05/would-your-government-give-you-a-permit-for-this-tower/ Exploring Amateur Radio Sat, 20 Feb 2010 00:14:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: w4kaz http://k9jy.com/blog/2009/01/05/would-your-government-give-you-a-permit-for-this-tower/comment-page-1/#comment-1622 w4kaz Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:01:03 +0000 http://k9jy.com/blog/?p=675#comment-1622 Just think of the 80m pile-ups to EU using an antenna like that from the US, especially from here in the mid atlantic region. I just hope the guys out in west Texas don't get ideas. They could probably pull it off out west of Dallas. If they had enough money to put it up. I wonder what the wind loading is on that thing with an inch of ice. Yikes.

We as a culture and our communities have taken the control of wireless communication antennas to an extreme. Is this much like a fascination with navel fuzz? Perhaps such ordinances stifle innovation from the perspective of the garage innovator. Indeed, I'm curious as to the modeling program and design characteristics as well. Their project is worthy of a Science channel documentary. 73 Scot, KA3DRR Agreed. We as a culture and our communities have taken the control of wireless communication antennas to an extreme.

When you need 5,000 approvals to put up a DirecTV dish in some neighborhoods, we've taken it too far to the other side. I wonder how OH8X did the antenna modeling and how it would fire when the tower is 100-meters high... It also tells us how different the view is of ham radio in other countries.

I'm still stunned. And what a contribution and testament to the engineering prowess of ham radio operators. Their antenna is a symbol of passion and commitment to be 'the best of the best'. 73 Scot, KA3DRR Scot,
