We just bought our place within the last year and a half. We had a very good 
relater but it took me several times explaining to her I would not have any 
place where there were HOA's or antenna or tower restriction. She thought  I 
mean something small. When she saw what I was running in Keizer with an 80 foot 
tower and Steppir on top, hytower and various other antennas in the back and 
side yard she began to get the idea. But it still took a bit more work to get 
the idea of open ground with maybe a hilltop location, no major power lines 
near my place, etc. It is always a compromise but where we settled is much 
better than being in the city. And I have the largest tower I've ever owned 
thanks to some luck and a little money. Still working setting it up but my 
neighbors actually seam intrigued by my ham radio activity. By now the know I 
take it seriously seeing me out there working on various things.


There are good relators and those that want to grab the money and run. I know, 
I've seen them and walked away from some of them. Buying a home was one of the 
most stressful things I ever went through but each time I sit out there on my 
John Deere tractor or on my deck I know it was worth it. But it was sure like 
biting nails to get through the process.


Teach a decent relator what you mean and it can pay off if they do care enough 
to learn your wishes. Don't put up with one who won't.


I too am someone who should always proof read I know.

     So the yagi on the roof will hurt your neighbor's kids, but won't hurt the 
people in the house it is mounted on, who are 20-30 feet away from said 
antenna? Bet you were laughing all the way to the bank on that one.

             I have an interesting story; I moved QTH from the suburbs to one 
in the
             mountains. While building the new location, I kept the original 
house but
             ham radio fell silent due to all the work I was doing in the new 
place. A
             real estate agent representing potential buyers for a house behind 
us was
             concerned about my roof top yagi which I had left there. They 
looked into
             radiation issues and exposure to their young kids and were 
concerned. They
             asked me to take it down. It was not high on my priority so at 
first I said
             no. Then they offered me $5K to take it down on their closing of 
the house.
             At that point I said okay and spent an hour taking it down. Of 
course the
             $5k went back into ham radio.

             After that "comment" I feel the need
             to chime in.

             I must be lucky, the last three houses
             I bought (2 in MA, 1 in AZ), could not
             have been better. The Realtors were
             quite truthful and helpful in each
             transaction.

             But then, perhaps the Laws and Realtor
             Associations may be more ethical in
             those two states.

                 truthful about anything. Thats based on buying and selling 3 
homes and
                 one condo...and
                 hearing the horror stories from friends and work place 
cohorts. A local
                 ham has a 150
                 ft rotating tower on his aprx .7 acre city lot. There used to 
be 5-8
                 acres of empty fields
                 behind him for 25 years. The acerage gets developed into a ton 
of very
                 expensive
                 new homes and several new streets. When prospective clients 
looked at
                 any of the
                 homes in the brand new subdivision, they were ALL told by 
EVERY real
                 estate
                 agent here in town, and we have 1450 of em.... that tower mess 
? Oh,
                 dont worry
                 about that, its all coming down in a few months. Well its 
still up and
                 running 20 years later.
                 By daughter got screwed over twice by real estate agents. I 
know
                 several real estate agents
                 personally, and a few owners of real estate business,s. They 
all have the
                 same attitude. Lie
                 through your teeth, and collect the commission.
