What ever happened. I really didn't keep track. I thought at one time there
was some kind of thing going on many years ago, where Hams
were allowed to get by almost doing anything. Some kind of bill or
something. How was that lost ??

I moved to a new location 2.5 years ago, still remodling. I have no antennas
up but I live on kind of an antenna hill. There is still a Ham across the street,
two doors down. There used to be a Ham right across the street. I'm not
sure who owns the two of three towers over there. the property lines
are bizzare. The one guy has transmission lines
going up into the second story window. From my house it looks like about 20.

And it's getting more restrictive every day. Even so called older
neighborhoods are getting restrictions put in by the local city
councils in an effort to "make them look nicer".

These are the same fools that want streaming video on their cell
phones, but insist on no cell towers in their neighborhood.

On antenna towers for amateur radio use. I have no issues with
a tower as long as it meets certain engineering standards.

What I have problems with is Joe "I know code so I'm a civil
engineer too" Ham throwing together some 30 year old piece of
crap he bought at an estate sale and then having it fall over
onto my property. And then when the city tells him he needs a
permit, screaming about emergency communications as a
justification.
