-------------------- I'm sure all hams would agree with Steve. A clarification of the existing regs would give hams much more leverage in attempts to cram down a "reasonable accommodation" over the objections of local officials. Some have succeeded, and whenever one does QST crows about it -- but many have failed. My town is kinda snooty but there have been some hams on zoning boards etc and a precedent was established a long time ago that antennas are okay if they aren't too obtrusive (whatever that may mean). My solution was to mount a hex-beam on my chimney. It's hardly visible from the road. In general, antennas mounted on a house seem to be out of the purview of the vigilantes. Some of my buddies even have roof tripods and tri-banders. If some standard could be set so that every ham could have the same rights we enjoy here, 'twould be a consummation devoutly to be wished.
