[ARRL-OK] Mustang New Draft Antenna Ordinance Proposal

[Jim Wilhite]

Dean this is the cop out all city managers seem to think will work.  In 
a court they will loose big time.   The real funny thing is I have seen 
towers come down and all were guyed.  I have seen a self supporting 
fall.  As for the permit, it is a red herring.  Once in place they will 
establish a fee based on time consumed by city staff to prepare the 
permit and inspect the installation.

It needs to be fought all the way.  Been there done that and 65 ft. is 
the minimum I would settle at.  Good luck on all, you have the 
statistics in your corner, use them.
