Armando Martins (M0PAM) an Amateur / Ham Radio operator for over 60 years, is attempting to receive planning permission for a 33ft mast at his home in Canterbury, Kent, UK

So far, Kent County Council have refused his attempts to gain permission for the mast after moving into sheltered housing in the town in 2012.

Martins is taking his appeals further, claiming the council is acting against his 'human rights' by stopping him from continuing with a hobby of more than 60 years.
