§ 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.)
