    Ugly people don't like beautiful antennas

    W2PIR in California has haters next door.

    Thursday evening, April 23, city Deputy Development Director Emilio Ramirez visited the house to discuss the tower and set an appointment for more discussion Friday. He wouldn’t say what they talked about Thursday and could not be reached Friday.

    “This has gotten far more complicated than I ever thought it would,” Braiman said later in the dining room. “All I wanted to do was my hobby and serve my community.”
    Our kind are always persecuted.

    Put your antennas up in the middle of a grove in the woodlands surrounding your property. Out of sight; out of mind.

    I dislike living in a situation where I'm living in super close proximity to neighbors, and the next property I buy will fix that.

    Hey, Eddie—what's this “grove in the woodlands” thing he's talking about? Is it like a bunch of cactus or something?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    You've never seen a grove of Saguaros or Cholla? The Cholla groves really jump out at you.

    The desert southwest is so open that one can probably find a place to put up whatever they want. Towards the coasts...not so much.
