Narrative:

I was cleared by north myrtle beach tower to cruise along the coast at or below 500'. While flying along the coast, several banner towing pilots complained that I was too close to their operations. I was maintaining 500' from any person, structure or vessel. I personally feel the banner pilots are monopolizing the airspace on the coast, and make it impossible for other pilots to photograph and enjoy the coast.
