It looks to me as I we need to get some points clarified on this and what is being discussed on the hill. Let's get some goals defined or get those definitions to the rest of us so we are clear and coordinated on this and we aren't giving false expectations to the members. 73 David A.

The biggest fear that these folks have is what they consider to be an unsightly tower in their community. If we push towers, we will never get the support of representatives 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 excitement that things might change. Many are thinking a 50'-70' tower and tribander are in their future...
I'd appreciate a copy of the template you have been using for emails to members.
Thanks & 73, Doug K4AC
