Hi Jack,
I’m in the process of moving from CA to KY. I’m aware of PRB-1 and will
certainly bring it up if needed.
I’ve got a meeting with the county building department director on Tuesday
afternoon. My hope is that he’ll agree that their PCS tower ordinance does not
apply to Amateur Radio. If so I should be good to go. If he insists that it
applies to Ham Radio towers I’ll have some work to do.
As I said earlier, I’m not going to do a thing if they tell me I’m good to go.
Wouldn’t make sense.
Thanks for the replies.
Bob
