Don't give up so easily...  Massachusetts is one of the states that has codified PRB-1 into state law, so your fight should be easier than in a state where one has to go thru the federal courts.  Does Holden have an antenna ordinance, and if so, what does it say?  What steps have you taken so far, and what has been the outcome?  Remember, the FCC & the courts have said that any "balancing test" is not allowed, arbitrary height limits do NOT meet the requirement of "reasonable accomodation" and "minimum practicable regulation", and under no circumstance can the municipality's actions have the effect of precluding amateur communication.

PS - your XYL is wrong:  if you don't fight for your rights, who will?

Crank-down, fold-over tower with coax arms, inverted vee arm and steel mast for sale on ground in Holden, MA.  Complete except for anchor bolts.  Over $3,000 new from US Tower, asking $2,000 or make offer. Buyer must pick up.  The town is never going to let me put this thing up and my XYL won't let me fight the zoning board, so it's got to go. Contact wa6ilt@amsat.org.
