FCC Regulations - Part 97 Amateur Radio Service
[Effective Oct 1, 2006.]
Subpart A General Provisions
Sec. 97.15 Station antenna structures.
(a) Owners of certain antenna structures more than 60.96 meters (200
feet) above ground level at the site or located near or at a public use
airport must notify the Federal Aviation Administration and register
with the Commission as required by part 17 of this chapter.
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, a station antenna structure
may be erected at heights and dimensions sufficient to accommodate
amateur service communications. (State and local regulation of a station
antenna structure must not preclude amateur service communications.
Rather, it must reasonably accommodate such communications and must
constitute the minimum practicable regulation to accomplish the state or
local authority's legitimate purpose. See PRB-1, 101 FCC 2d 952 (1985)
for details.)
