So, my 30 footer which is about 3 miles from our local airport, 1/4 mile
from a hospital heliport, is less than half the height of nearby trees,
also about 3/4 of the height of the power poles, street lights, and shorter
than nearby 2 story houses, is considered OK.  I don't think the FAA needs
to investigate my tower.  Plus, I'm not in an HOA to be pestered by
either.

It's a miracle that I get out at all with all the obstructions in the way.
