This has been the case for many years and QST has reports frequently about this or that case wherein a ham's attorney has used the federal regulation to overturn some local law and allow antenna construction. The ARRL has an in-house legal adviser to help hams use the federal regs for this purpose. The specific purpose of at least one currently proposed petition is to strengthen the existing protection that hams are supposed to have against local legislation, by citing specific instances in which a ham's inability to put up an antenna was deemed to have prevented effective emergency communications. Our DX club recently asked members to send in specific examples of this sort of clash, if they know of any.
