    ...and according to a follow-up article, http://www.pe.com/articles/tower-765...oric-city.html, the city planning commission is "revisiting" the issue, on the primary grounds of the historic district.

    Right.

    Note that W2PIR replaced a 42 foot pole with a 25 foot tower... a crank-up tower than can go up to 57 feet, mind you.

    So the "solution" is obvious. Keep the tower cranked down in daylight, crank it up a night. It's been done before, to preserve the "historic" district.

    3 will get you 2, though, that his permit is revoked & he's ordered to take the tower down. So this will end up in court. Hope his lawyer has brushed up on PRB-1 precedents.

    I had a neighbor tell me that his electrician told him that my wire dipole was "extremely dangerous". I told him not to worry. I told him that instead I'll worry about the "extreme danger" so he won't have to.
