I work for one of the "big three" tower companies. We want a 5 mil
policy to climb one of our towers, but insurance for more antennas has
nothing to do with it. They just didn't wand anything of your on it.

The only thing we want for more antennas is a lease (more money) and a
structural analysis done first.

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
