----------------------------------------------------------------------
Each time I buy a house, I make sure there are no covenants or other
antenna restrictions encumbering it. Years ago I rented a condo where
there were no antennas allowed. They kept trying to get me to buy that
poorly built hovel, and I kept saying that I would not do so unless they
gave me a waiver on antennas. They never would, and I bought elsewhere.
When I took a job as a city administrator out in Western Illinois, the
city clerk and I went through the ordinances, and found a restriction on
the height of church steeples, but nothing about antennas. A little
research beforehand saves a lot of headaches later. Here, the only
hassle I get about ham radio is from one old lady who gets upset that 6
meters tears up her soaps. She is running a mast mounted preamp and
several distribution amps in the house. Since they all like to act like
mixers, there is nothing I can do at my end. Ironically, her late
husband used to wipe out most of the televisions in the area running his
old Heathkit on 10 meters. For retirement, I'm buying 35 acres out in
the middle of nowhere, as so long as BPL doesn't show up, the old 2B is
going to get a lot of exercise with any antenna I feel like putting up.
