The biggest fear that these folks have is what they consider to be an unsightly ower in their community. If we push towers, we will never get the support of epresentatives that have communities with CC&Rs in their district." I think this is a MAJOR point that is being lost by the average ham in their xcitement that things might change. Many are thinking a 50'-70' tower and ribander are in their future... I'd appreciate a copy of the template you have been using for emails to members.
