Did you miss the "in the vicinity of the tower" or just ignore it? I would
not operate below the tower's level if west of the runway 6 threshold and
north of the extended runway centerline without a visual on the tower. I
can do that and takeoff and land at FUL without any difficulty whatsoever.

I guess I have a broader view of in the vicinity of the tower than you
do - I would class the whole airport as being in the vicinity of the
tower. It's less than 60 seconds flying time, according to what has
been written here.
