Churchill was also known to quote Ralph Waldo Emerson who said that "A
foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds!"
Anyway move to South Louisiana - we get wind - a la hurricanes but also
government so happy to have ham radio operators as emergency personnel that
the last time the question of forcing tower permits was raised the Lafayette
(La) city council would not even vote on it.

Subject: [TowerTalk] town ordanence
In the town of NorthBranford Ct.They have a place for towers it is the
industrial zone!That was the first response from building dept. I tried in a
very nice way that I was not a cell tower site or industrial but a ham radio
operator and under a different set of rules and asked if they had a
provision for such.Blank Stare.OK lets try again back with paper work in
hand health district OK site planes tower specks measurement's case law on
PRB-1 in hand.No good hafta give it to town attorney towers are in the
industrial zone! Months pass elections you know,then after the elections low
and behold paper comes back the town is required to give reasonable
accommodation.Ok you have to get a variance for height my god what next.Set
the date hung the sign the day comes get a call town clerk I am sorry can
not get enough members to show up Well I guess I get it then right? wrong
set for next month. Finally get the variance only to come up to town
engineer, I am
sorry the tower does not meet speck for wind load up dated for 110@3sec.in
Ct.I gave him specs.on three different towers and then started asking about
provisions to that rule. Finally got the permit as long as promised to crank
it down during wind storms!I promised. Winston Churchill once said Never
Never Never give up good advice Martin N1KGP73s
