[EIDXA] Tower

[Glenn Thorne]

When I did mine in Tama County I found that a permit was not required.  But 
the zoning commisioner suggested to go through the process anyway as 
protection against any future zoning rule changes.  Didn't cost me anything 
but a stamp to mail him the application.

As Steve noted, all that was required was the manufacturers tower and base 
specs, and in my case, a simple textual description of the location, i.e., 
"40 ft. north of the house"

When's the tower party?

73, Glenn/KD0Q
