If the neighbourhood had not removed every single tree around, the antenna
would not look so stark in it's nested state. We have a lot of those walled estates here in ZS and they seem to attract the same anal residents! The developments here are also devoid of trees. Unfortunately, we don't have a federal law to rely on here, our amateurs have to rely on sneaky antennas only. Lucily I live in a freehold suburb with plenty of trees. My 55' crank-up also nests at about 20' and is virtually invisible from all roads but one due to the trees around it. Only my immediate neighbours can see it in the nested position, but they still have the trees to get an idea of the proportions so it is not a problem. Trees have more bulk than the antenna and give proportion to it's size. Maybe that guy should print some info leaflets for the neighbours to inform them that in an emergency situation, that 'eyesore' could be their only communications system and their lifeline to help? People forget surprisingly quickly that the distance from the top of the (technological) heap to the bottom is an incredibly short distance! One big storm in the right place and infrastructure can crumble and take them back to their medievil walled villages that they appear to be longingly trying to emulate! What hole comes before a B-Hole? Merry Christmas to all! 73 from Sunny Durban South Africa -- Pete . . ZS5ACT / ZS5ZZ ------ Reply Separator ------ "merlin-7" wrote in message ...

I am not in any way trying to defend the clowns on the video. However, one thing they did not do is remove any trees. 73, Gene W4SZ |

This news spot is OLD!
OLD news is NO NEWS. NEW news is NEWS [so, I'm told]. In the USA there is a federal pre-emption limiting local laws against antennas.

We have a lot of those walled estates here in ZS and they seem to attract the same anal residents! And behind walls is a great place for them. The developments here are also devoid of trees. Unfortunately, we don't have a federal law to rely on here, our amateurs have to rely on sneaky antennas only. Perhaps the Amateur could get rid of his unattractive antenna if the neighborhood would agree to purge itself of other eyesores - such as the adipose and unnatractive women complaining about the antenna. Lucily I live in a freehold suburb with plenty of trees. My 55' crank-up also nests at about 20' and is virtually invisible from all roads but one due to the trees around it.

Maybe that guy should print some info leaflets for the neighbours to inform them that in an emergency situation, that 'eyesore' could be their only communications system and their lifeline to help? I believe, he would be better off selling his place and moving to a neighborhood that doesn't have People who want to controll everything their neighbors do.

One big storm in the right place and infrastructure can crumble and take them back to their medievil walled villages that they appear to be longingly trying to emulate! Like I said, they belong behind walls.... What hole comes before a B-Hole? And How! - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |
