Fred Hopengarten, K1VR to speak on antenna zoning at FCARC meeting

Antenna Zoning for the Radio Amateur

Is there a tower and antenna in your future? Applying for a Permit? On November 19 the Franklin County Amateur Radio Club (FCARC) speaker will be Fred Hopengarten, K1VR, telecommunications lawyer. Fred is author of the definitive book, Antenna Zoning for the Radio Amateur. Fred has represented many amateurs in conflicts with local zoning authorities about antennas and towers, including right here in Franklin County. His book is published in cooperation with the ARRL and he will probably have a few copies on hand.
