Thanks for jumping in, Phil. I did not respond with comments because these private contracts do not affect me - yet. This is an established neighborhood with no HOA or CC&Rs, so no problem putting up antennas. In fact, my neighbor to the west is also a ham and has higher VHF antennas than I have HF antennas. Also, I do not currently participate in emergency communications.
However, It's almost impossible to buy a new home, or a home that was built in the last several years, without running into this restriction. I've never quite understood why these restrictions don't expire when all of the homes in a given development have passed ownership from the developer to the individual homeowners. That is, in absence of a HOA. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 4/23/2012 12:18 PM, Phil Kane wrote: > Actually the FCC does have jurisdiction over local laws....that's what > "PRB-1" is all about.
