A tower on a hill is highly noticeable and the county has a very firm policy that the only towers allowed are the ones that look like fake trees. A wooden pole buried in the oak trees with a 900 antel omni on the top is highly unnoticeable and will probably never get reported by a local nutcase like an actual tower will.
