[BC] Antenna Question

[Mark W. Croom]

This can be an issue in rural towns when the airport is at the county 
seat (or is the most active or only airport in the county). There seems 
to be a lot of overlap between county and municipal interest in 
regulating tower building, lighting, and marking. Even here in southern 
MN, at the county level, we're now dealing with tower ordinances as 
restrictive as those I have seen in metropolitan areas.

*sigh*
