Publicity: Good? Bad? … I don’t know.
Apparently some neighbors have complained to the town and to the media about my tower and antenna installation. John and Ken were the first recipients of any direct comments from anyone that I received on my on-going project Thursday morning (6.6.2013). This was when I was on the tower at 70 feet and was wrestling with the antenna as it was being trammed up!
A reporter from the East Greenwich Patch News came by that afternoon to interview me. The attached link is to the article from the East Greenwich Patch web site that came out this morning.

Later this morning Mark Curtis from ABC Channel 6 News Providence came by to interview and video me and the tower/antenna. He came back later to interview neighbors. He also said he was going to speak to town officials.
What’s next? I haven’t a clue. Stay tuned for details at 11!

Yikes! At least you’re legally in the right. It would be great if your neighbors could simply accept that but it seems maybe not.
In cases like this where people have such polarized views I don’t see publicity as a good thing. I’d bet your neighbors are counting on that, but to what end one can only surmise at this point.
