Re: [Elecraft] OT Need copy of "Antenna Zoning and the Radio Amateur " second edition

I'm putting this on the Reflector to let folks know that help is at 
hand.  We've been in conversation earlier.

Thanks Phil. There is  no HOA. It only took 18 months to find an electrically 
quiet neighborhood that wasn't truly in the middle of nowhere and no HOA. I 
will go to the county and see what there require. Most places we have looked at 
had a 35 foot height restriction so at this point I'm planning a special use 
permit or exemption and a building permit. I will start gathering info and the 
tower and the beam for submittal and get back to you.

Thank you so much for offering to help.


Further info - Utah does not have a "by right" statute such as other 
states have, specifying a height at or below which the jurisdiction 
cannot restrict height.  It does have a PRB-1 type statute that 
requires local administrations to grant "reasonable accommodation" by 
"least restrictive means" - which are legal terms that can vary amongst 
jurisdictions.  I am a great fan of getting those limits adopted, which 
involvs hard work with legislatures.  I don't know what your local 
zoning codes specify, but in those cases where I have written or 
reviewed local zoning codes, I have  tried to get ham radio antennas 
exempted from Conditional Use Permits or Special Variances by a process 
called Administrative Permits that don't involve neighborhood hearings, 
notifications and fees, especially if there's a "by right" statute. 
Something that you need to check into.


If you are required to get a Conditional Use Permit or to apply for a 
Variance and you need legal assistance - check out Kenneth D. Lougee, 
K7AAO in Sandy, who like myself is an ARRL Volunteer Counsel but is 
licensed in Utah.  He is listed in the ARRL website for Volunteer 
Counsels.


A building permit is a different kettle of fish.  Cross that bridge 
after the :Land Use permit business is settled.


Let me know how things go.

Check with your local library and see if they can find it for interliibrary 
loan.
A quick check of the union catalog at WorldCat doesn’t show very many holdings,
but your library might have better search tools.

Amateur satellites are moving objects, so you would need to know when a 
satellite’s footprint is over Shawnee.  The ability to aim your antenna both in 
elevation and azimuth would also be helpful to provide the strongest signal to 
your receiver.  You can look up a particular satellite’s expected passes over 
your grid square by using the “Predict” page on the AMSAT website:

https://www.amsat.org/track/index.php 

You can also review the list of active satellites and their downlink/uplink 
frequencies here:

https://www.amsat.org/fm-satellite-frequency-summary/ 

Otherwise, is there another ham in the area that can fire up a CW/SSB/FM signal 
between 432-436 MHz (the coverage of the XV432)?  Perhaps a member of a local 
radio club could assist.

Hope this helps,
