§ 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.)
