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!
