[SFDXA] Antenna saga -- Part II - The permit -- need input

[Richard M. Gillingham]

I'm afraid what they want is referred to as a 'wet stamp'  from and 
engineer.   Check with ARRL for a local engineer/ham that may help. 
 They're around.  If you can't find one, it may get expensive.  The soil 
analysis isn't bad, but the base structure will be designed on what the 
soil checks out at.  Check with the Tower Talk reflector.  There are 
many wize heads there who may be able to cast more light on this shadow...

Hang in there,
