[Elecraft] FAA-Approved Antenna authorized by HOA

[edauer at aya.yale.edu]

I believe the FAA does need to approve the structure and lighting on
antennas higher than 200' AGL.  Or some such rule, depending on how close
the structure is to an airport.

 

So Jerry's must be a vertical dipole for 160M.  I'm impressed.

FAA-licensed? I'd request a new letter with FCC-licensed.
