[NLRS] Places to live in Texas

[tosca005 at umn.edu]

It appears that a move to Texas is possibly in my future, sometime between 
July 2011 and Juy 2012. (Nothing firm yet, though.) We are most likely to 
be looking for a place near either San Antonio or Austin, depending on 
where my daughter decides to take a job.

Are there any areas near either of those two metro areas that have elevated 
ground suitable for putting up a tall tower or roving to? I haven't lived 
in Texas for 33 years, and I'm sure a lot of things have changed since 
then, such as expansion of the metro areas further outside of the city 
centers. But I doubt that geography has changed much, and my recollections 
are of intense flatness. I suppose if EVERYTHING around a location is 
really flat, the line of sight horizon is quite a distance away, still I 
feel that higher is better if possible.

Also, any tips on whether cities around there are likely to have severly 
restrictive antenna ordinances? If I make this major move, I would like it 
to be my last one for a long time, and I have waited far too long to put up 
a decent antenna tower. This might be my first (and last) chance to do so.

I hope this isn't considered too far off-topic, but I figured that avid 
radio operators might have good insight into the local conditions down 
there in Texas, and I know that there aree people on this reflector who 
live or have lived down that way...
