[South Florida DX Association] Peoria, IL area Ham towers controversy

[n4tl2 at earthlink.net]

People don't pay that much attention to towers, unless there is a homeowner
association.

When I lived on Lauderdale Lakes I started out with a 25 foot tower and a
tribander. After a few years the guys from SFDXA helped take the top
section off and add to the tower so it was 50 feet. We also added a 6 meter
beam above the tribander.A few days later my next door neighbor asked what
did we do to the tower. 

Here in NC I put up a tower right after we moved here in 1995. About 5
years ago I added a second tower next to the house with stacked 6 meter
beams. After about 2 weeks I asked a neighbor what he thought about the new
antennas. He had not noticed them.
