Will soon be moving to Chandler/Phoenix area. Any info on tower restrictions? Most properties seem to be either small urban lots, or 'horse properties' (whatever they are). Info? Thanks all Bob/WF3H
Just got a phone call from the zoning inspector in Queen Creek, AZ. Ham towers are exempt from any regulations at all. None. Zip. Not even a building permit required. This is HEAVEN! My last place in
This is good advice...my experience has been that if 2 local officials are involved, they will disagree with each other over everything. The XYL is an attorney, so may have her do the paperwork... Bo
Although this is probably a topic for the ham/legal forum, you may have fallen into the grey area between too short (30' height restrictions), and the 'just right' (70' height) where alot of township
I do recall being at the top of the Eiffel tower a few years ago and noticing the porcupines there. Amazing the things you notice in such a place...not that I was looking at the scenery. -- Original
We just put money down on a property and got a copy of the deed restrictions. Pinal County, AZ has no restrictions on ham towers, BUT the deed does have a CCR restricting tower height. However, there
Here in the Phoenix area, property literally sells in hours. Only after making an offer...and waiting for a week or 2...do you get the CCR info. If you're prepared to wait months, while housing price
I found the PRO67B to be excellent on 20 meters. It was good on 40, mainly because other folks were using dipoles. On 10 it was so-so. It survived a number of severe ice storms, was up 15 years with

I'm looking at erecting 70' of Rohn 25 with a Pro 67B at the top. This will have no thrust bearing, and the antenna will be <1 foot above the tower. I'd like to put up a tiltover, tilting from the ba

At first I thought this was a joke, even it it's on the BBC website, but it's not. Vatican Radio officials have been convicted for causing cancer around the VR transmitter site: http://news.bbc.co.uk
I had a Pro67B at 75' with a Ringo Ranger above that. My Ham IV lasted 15 years until I took it down last year...no problems at all. I had CATS put in the 'unbreakable' break. The system went thru ma
I had to whip my local township into shape over this issue about 2 years ago. I reminded the township attorney that aesthetics were specifically forbidden to be used in deciding on providing a zoning
I may be moving to the Dallas Fort Worth area soon. Any good areas for ham radio? Areas to stay away from? Looking to put up a 70 foot tower and run the legal limit... thanks all Bob/WF3H ___________
Enough with this crap already. We scientists don't need to be lectured by the Christian Taliban about science. Let's leave Towertalk to talk about TOWERS. Thanks all Bob/WF3H Weather Stations", and l
We who live in TX are fortunate to have had this battle already fought on our behalf. When I lived in PA, my twp had a 35' height restriction. I summarized a number of cases, especially the recent on
OK I know this has the potential to open a can of worms, but I'm going to put up a nice tower about 100-200' from the station. I need a good feedline that is low loss and easy to work with. Hardline
