That was a bunch of BULL! Their insurance does not allow you to climb the
tower but it does not prevent them from mounting ANYTHING you would ever
want on it. It was THEY who did not want it there and if they did not allow
you to put an antenna on it and hence not have a tower on your property they
must not have needed it very much.

This is somewhat off topic so I will stop there, but I have cases I know of
where a cellular provider rebuilt existing towers so they could go on it and
have even replaced antennas and cable with new stuff for hams and businesses
that were existing on the tower.

 Hello all i have been following this line  of thinking closely  my thoughts
is it may be ok in town were antennas can be placed on
commericial buildings  around town but in the country you are lucky to find
a tower that will let
anything else be placed on it due to the liabality  clauses in there
insurance point  in beeing i had a cell tower company want to  place a tower
in my pasture  and i asked if they would allow me to  place a
triband antenna at the 300 foot mark  they replied  there insurance would
not allow it  so guess what i have no tower in my pasture nor will i ever
have unless there can be amateur radio communications placed on it . another
case in point is i have my direct tv  dish mounted at 55 feet on my
tower and in march  it needs to be realigned due to the strong march winds
in the open country
god knows i do like to experiment with things   but i personally feel that
for the long range flat  systems 6 meters would be the  choice  .  just some
thoughts from  the country lol 73 john ke4ini
