Did I mention there are at 5 school facilities within spitting distance? If they are low enough to hit that 180 foot tower they have a lot more problems than the tower to contend with!

A friend showed me some of these a while back. With figure-8s, ovals, symetrical, and non-symetrical patterns, and considering any unique terrain features, it seems to be no wonder they have to do "studies" on each individual application for construction.
