What a world. 

I refused to help a lawyer from California who wanted to illegally 
use an amplifier to communicate in the ham bands with his 
amplifier, and he threatened the manufacturer with a lawsuit for 
"mental anguish" (among other things).

This tower thing is just as stupid. Property devaluation is one thing, 
but mental distress? Nonsense. I sure hope they fight this one 
through appeals processes, I'm sure it would be overturned.
