13 JUL 2010 - 1617 CDT Thanks to the well-organized efforts of Kermit Carlson, W9XA, and some astute legal work by ARRL Volunteer Counsel, Jim O'Connell, W9WU, the Batavia, IL Amateur Radio licensees have a realistic, plain English, set of municipal rules for Amateur Radio Antenna Support Structures. I have appended Chapter 4.8 of the new City of Batavia Zoning Code to this email. The details concerning Amateur Radio are on the last page. Please note the required sign-off for waivers of these requirements. Congratulations to both Kermit and Jim. - Dick Isely, W9GIG
