I wish they'd put a phone mast up on our road, the network coverage is dreadful at the moment.
Everyone complains of the almost complete lack of coverage around our estate (even though we are 'apparently' 4G).
Then the plans came our to site a mast at the entrance to the estate, guess what happened? Everyone was up in arms and protested against it. 🙄
Just checked in after getting some work done.
This objection was purely about the death rays that radiate out from the tower and not it's appearance. It's a fairly ordinary looking suburban street of victorian terraces, nice enough but it's no AONB. There's an engineering works at the end of the road and this is where the mast would be situated. It's also near a junction so there's signage, traffic lights, bollards, lamp posts, telegraph poles and an existing phone mast there already so the aesthetics of one more mast is pretty insignificant in this case.
I saw petition man last night, completely blanked me even after I initiated the standard neighbourly "hello" I think i may be able to amuse myself with this for a few weeks after all.
Have you established whether he uses a mobile phone?

Gonna be tricky now that he's blanking me.
muppetWrangler - it is quite surprising what antennas you can place on your house, so long as they are within a certain distance of the roof/walls, without permission.
Maybe a quick trawl of ebay for HF amateur radio antennas would be entertaining? Would be fun to put up something like below, pointing right at his house for a few weeks and then sell on??

Sounds like there is no reason as to why this mast should not be installed.
Could you offer your neighbour an olive branch in the form of a tin foil hat? I think this will go down very well
