 I've run into this elsewhere.
 Generally, if they collect union dues, you can do about anything you want.
 It's a power grab, nothing more.

 So.....
 Where in your state can we find a "licensed" contractor to properly
 connect and use an OIB-3 at the base of a 1/2 wave tower ?
 Let's make it easy, and allow the SD-31 and a FIM ?

 How about one who can "size the wire" for a ThruLine ?

 Maybe something simple, like properly setting a ball gap ?

 Nanny government is just getting silly.

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth but supreme beauty --
a beauty cold and austere, like that of a sculpture, without appeal to any
part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trapping of painting or music,
yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the
greatest art can show.  The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense
of being more than man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is
to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.
