This has been a concern of mine as a portable operator but mostly I
haven't had any probblems with it. I have heard stories about the police
in my county chasing people off hills. Hopefully the hill I've used
for the last few years, which is on private property - i have permission
from the owner - is still useful. It now has over 50 windmill generators
to the west and south of the site.
I was set up in the 10 GHz contest a couple years ago when a police car
pulled up. I was about 20 feet off the road. they never approached me,
but talked to someone in a van and left. I gathered the people in the van
had called the police and the police had some idea of what I was doing.
