Greg,
I can only speak for my situation here in my city in Florida, but all that
was required of me was a current P.E. stamp on the engineering prints(which
also stated the windload) for my tower. Obviously the P.E. had to be
certified in this state as well.
Great to see someone who will help out fellow hams!!

Subject: [TowerTalk] Anyone have a PE report for a tower?
I am a licensed professional engineer who has recently become aware of the
challenges that we hams have encounter installing towers on our property.
I've seen a number of people say that an engineering analysis costs around
$1000 and this seems pretty expensive to me. As a General class ham (with
Morse Code), I'd like to help out fellow hams with the engineering analysis,
so the permits can be issued and the towers raised.
Has anyone on here had a engineering analysis performed for their antenna,
and if so, would you be willing to share a copy with me? I'd like to look at
it and see what kind of calculations the engineer did satisfy the
requirements of the local authorities.
This will help our hobby because having PE's that are also hams will make
antenna installations much easier and help fellows hams spend time on the
air rather than standing in line at the permit office.
Thanks!
