Part of the ASR is frequency coordination with the airport. As long as you're not actually causing a hazard to air traffic they'll most likely approve it. If they don't approve it, I'm not sure what the process is. However at 45-50 ft, the chances of them caring about the height is so close to

We have a tower next to a commercial building, I think it's a 45 or 50 ft probably Rohn 45G. It is near a smallish regional airport but pretty much 90 degrees to the runway. We need to swap out the 5 GHz backhaul links on this tower for licensed. The frequency coordinator is telling us that
