Don, The ARRL would be a good place to start on this, but it probably will have nothing to do with the FCC. PRB-1 requires reasonable accommodation by locals. It doesn't give hams carte blanche. If the family didn't dot the i's and cross the T's with the locals, which in many cases requires filing engineering data to support choices in foundation design and guying schemes, etc., PRB-1 won't help.

I'm looking for some information from others, that in the past, have had situations with local / county / state governments concerning antenna height and what their outcomes were. There's a situation right now in southeastern Wisconsin where a 10 year old ham is having issues with neighbors and the local government about his tower height. You can read the full story here: http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/91663619.html Specifically I'm looking for any situation that happened in the past with you and your government that you had and how it was resolved, both bad and good. Kevin, if this conflicts with your rules then please direct the membership to my private email, dkupfers <at> sbcglobal dot net. TIA in advance to all that respond. Don, KD9PT
