[MLB-WIRELESS] Rental houses and antennas

[Steven Haigh]

I'd have to agree on the rental situation... When Glen and myself were
renting, node AAC's setup looked like:

If we didn't get any objections with this, then I think most people could
get away with a single small mast :)

Oh, and total height from ground level was ~20m tall.
