The rest of the ordinance deals with permits, setbacks, painting of
towers so as to be as unobtrusive as possible, collocation wherever
possible, etc., etc. Yes, this is their version of "reasonable accomodation" in accordance with PRB-1. The exclusion I quoted means in effect (so the Township officials tell me): "If you are a licensed amateur (or if you only want to receive radio and TV signals) and your antenna is less than 70' high, there are *no* regulations." They don't even want to see specs for the tower or inspect the rebar before the concrete is poured for the footing. You are correct that this does not completely outlaw antennas or towers higher than 70', but it does mean that if I stick to 70' or less life will be much simpler. Alan AB2OS On 07/22/04 09:31 pm Lou Laderman put fingers to keyboard and launched the following message into cyberspace: The ordinance says that "This article shall not govern any tower, or the installation of any antenna: (i) That is under seventy (70) feet in height; and (ii) Is owned and operated by a federally-licensed amateur radio Station..." _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
