[BC] Antenna Question

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

To the "mere private pilot" who answered this message, I have
the fastest delete-key in the northeast so your response went away

My advice was more conservative and was to check with
FSDO.

Once you get your "commercial" and start playing around closer
to the ground, towing banners, doing photography, or killing
bugs, you will become more conservative about towers, too!
