It's law in New Hampshire

New Hampshire House Bill 1380, recently signed into law by Governor
Steve Merrill, exempts from real estate property taxes ''radio
towers, antennas, and related or supporting structures used
exclusively in the operation of an Amateur communications station
under Federal Communications Commission Amateur Radio Service rules
and regulations.''

ARRL Counsel Chris Imlay, N3AKD, called the bill ''an important
precedent,'' saying that it may have far reaching effects throughout
the US as amateurs continue to seek relief from local and state
regulation.

ARRL New Hampshire Section Manager Al Shuman, N1FIK, who played a
key role in the passage of the bill, largely credits ARRL New
Hampshire State Government Liaison (and representative in the state
legislature) Ralph Rosen, W1HSB, and a team of ARRL Field
Organization volunteers, who testified numerous times before both
House and Senate committees.
