this is a waste of time as they (FCC) have no jurisdiction over local laws which differ from community to community. That is not true. Several years ago the FCC's OTARD (over the air reception device) ruling overturned restrictions against television antennas, satellite dishes, wireless

While that may be true in some kind of libertarian fantasy land, in reality the FCC (through PRB-1) and the rest of the federal government has a wide range of authority which can impact (or invalidate) local laws. This is why one can't legally buy a newly manufactured machine gun in any state,

I'll not disagree with you but my view is more cynical. It's all about the money. From what I see, many of the things in CCRs are put there by the developer to ensure no one does anything to reduce his ability to sell units for top dollar. Things like permitted colors, no cars parked

PRB-1 is not a law. It was a recommendation to local jurisdictions that they allow reasonable antenna accommodation for ham radio. When the FCC acted to allow antennas for satellite TV, the commission chose not to include ham radio. In recent years, ham radio has proven itself so

Hi Joe: My HOA had to add an addendum to it's rules to accommodate the use of a dish up to 1 meter in diameter, per the FCC ruling. Prior to that, the rules only permitted a dish up to 18 in diameter. Federal law will always pre-empt state or local laws, including CCRs. 73 de Ray K2ULR

The CCRs that are effectively shutting down Amateur Radio in many residential areas desperately need to be superseded by the FCC. I would also add that although towers and beams are nice, they really aren't necessary for effective communication and in some situations aren't advisable. In my

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 CCRs, so no problem putting up antennas. In fact, my neighbor to the west is also a ham and has higher VHF antennas than I
