Subject: Ham Protests Homeowners Association


Wayne Spires (KF4BJT), a Wetumpka, AL ham is now sitting perched a top his
68 foot radio tower behind his house in protest of a judges ruling forcing
him to become a part of a homeowners association. He says that 20 years
ago when he bought the property located along the river that it was listed
as unrestricted. He has been atop the tower for about three or four days
and says he will not come down until his next court date which is
scheduled for Feb. 5th. The nationally syndicated radio team Rick and Bubba
out of WZZK 104.7 in Birmingham, AL interviewed Mr. Spires, his wife, and
a daughter live by phone this morning. They also talked yesterday by phone
to the sheriff who said as long as Mr. Spires does not try to hurt himself
or somebody else his department will not interfere. William "Bubba" Bussey
(KJ4JJ) the co-host of Rick and Bubba, explained on yesterday's show the
importance ham radio can play in a time of emergency and the importance
for good towers for hams to own and use. (Bubba is a very active ham and
promotes it often on their program.) His family as well as other
neighbors, friends, and hams all are sending their support to him.
