Most of the ordnances that I have researched go out of there way to 
provide definitions for the terms that someone has deemed appropriate,  
with that said,  there are no definitions for small scale, low powered,

include WIMAX, especially if it was my setup and my money. I think the 
operative term in the ordinance was "visually inconspicuous".
