But is it OK to have the car in the driveway and not in the garage? Another approach is to have a vertical on a tilt-over base. Raise it at sunset, stow it when you're done. Nobody sees it during the day.
Or just run portable / temporary from your back yard. Set up some antenna, use it, take it down when you're done. A moving target is tough to hit. I had a friend in Albuquerque who was in a place with strict CCRs. He had a 30' tower with a full size 3 element tribander. Said he got permission for it in writing as a condition on purchase of the house. I think the real key here is to just not move into a place with antenna restrictions in the first place. Or to get your written waiver at the time of purchase. Easier said than done in some places though. - Keith KD1E - -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Rohre Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 3:28 PM To: Phil Kane; elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Federal Preemption But, Phil, The homeowners association SURELY could not prevent you from using the mobile bug catcher on your car to be the antenna of your home station? 73, Stuart K5KVH I have actually heard of a ham who runs a coax out under his garage door when he wants to operate. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
