That's an excellent suggestion. Is your HOA just a matter of volunteering or
do you have to fight to get on it?

Subject: Re: [BVARC] I oppose HR 555 Ron, This is an EXCELLENT e-mail. I too
sent one, but didn't think to c.c.the BVARC Reflector. There is one error in
your e-mail. At the TDXS meeting, you heard John Stratton cite that the law is
not grandfathered and with the mere existence of the law you are in violation
of a federal law as soon as it becomes law. You can't leave the antennas up
pending disposition of your application. You are not alone. I'm confused
with Scott's e-mail. I don't understand it's purpose. C U soon, IZO From:

Subject: [BVARC] I oppose HR 555 Gentlemen, I am a radio amateur. I have
successfully operated within my HOA controlled subdivision since 2008 without
any consequences. However, the provisions of HR 555 would require me to get
approval from my HOA for my existing antennas. If the HOA should not approve
them, I would have to take them down or be in violation of FCC regulations,
according to HR 555 Presently I invested over $10,000 in station equipment in
joyful pursuit of my hobby. If this bill should become law, my equipment will
be useless without an antenna. So where can I send the ARRL the bill for all
the equipment I can no longer use? HR 555 requires the HOA to approve any
antenna system. Every HOA has an architectural committee which approves all
property improvements. Do you think they are going to like my three element
Yagi on a 30 foot pole or even a simple vertical antenna 30 feet in the air?
To HOA’s, structures like that are anathema. Having been involved in an HOA,
I know that this kind of request means nothing but delay at best. They receive
the request; consider for some time; a very, very, very long time. You, the
ARRL Board, know this too, or perhaps you never had to deal with an HOA? How
do you expect an HOA committee of laymen determine what constitutes an
effective antenna? What are you thinking? There is nothing in H.R.555 to
motivate an HOA to behave otherwise. There is nothing in this bill that that
gives the amateur any right or leverage to pursue our on-the-air activities
without approval from the HOA. Who determines what is a reasonable or
effective antenna system, the HOA? I cannot believe the ARRL would knowingly
undermine its own future. You must be smoking some great weed over there in
Newington. Perhaps your vision for the future is a Chinese HT. Or maybe this
will revive the interest in CB radio. I see little future in being a licensed
ham or an ARRL member if this bill passes. I urge you and your fellow officers
and directors to withdraw this bill from Congress. Ron Litt, K5HMARRL Member
