LAX feed

Hey Athaker,

Have you figured out what you're going to do? Suggestion: Put antenna in a tree! Good luck and have a good day.

Yea I've decided:


I'm going to man up and defy my landlady.  She doesn't live here, and only comes by every so often.  She's got her maintenance dudes coming in to finish some things this afternoon, including gutter cleaning.  Their previous instructions were to take the antenna down if it was still up. 

When they're gone, everybody's happy, and my anal-retentive landlady is satisfied, that suckers going right back on the roof!

Thought about the tree, except I'm in a three story townhouse with no yard and therefore no tree on our property...i'd have to dangle a wire to a back-neighbor's tree from my second story window (where the feed is) and blah blah and it gets complicated.......

Give me until tomorrow or friday and hopefully I'll have restored the universe to order by then. 

Thanks to the LAX listeners for your concern and GO BRUINS

You tell 'em!
There was a bill in congress a while ago that would require private land-use regulators to "reasonably accommodate" amateur radio antennas. I'm not sure if it actually passed, though. It sounds like we need something like that for ATC feeders.  :wink:

Too bad FCC OTARD can't help.

Ham licenses are easy to get nowadays.  Are there any Ham laws to protect this?

None from the FCC. You would have to talk to your local lawmakers. I don't think the PRB-1 has much about this, and it wouldn't apply to a non-Ham.
