MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. (AP) — A village plan commission in Racine County has delayed a decision on what to do with a young ham radio operator’s backyard tower.
Two Mount Pleasant residents have complained the tower may be is interfering with their TV or phone reception. Village officials investigated and found Jim and Cathy Markstrom never received zoning approval to install the tower.
Their 10-year-old son, Samm, recently won a civic award for his ham radio contributions. The commission delayed a decision for 60 days.
