Yup, I understand. I never have any particular rep more than a few
months at either of the sites that we lease. Rules seem to vary
widely, depending on who you talk to. Zero site maintenance. I have
even offered to make them a deal to handle weed & brush control
(fire hazards), exterior lighting issues, garbage patrol, etc. The
sad part is, we already lease an entire room at the site in
question, have our own power meter, and we will already be occupying
a side mount that will easily accomodate my 220 antenna as well as
the 950mhz Scala paraflector that we use. Still can't seem to get
anywhere, and I'm willing to pay a bit for the antenna space.. go
figure.
