Does anyone know where the ARRL is in the representation of HOA restrictions to congress in hopes of a modification to the rules governing antenna placement?

I get that the old timers on here see ham radio and family life as a zero sum game, but the fact of the matter is that in a LOT of areas, you cannot find a suitable house for a family which does not involve a HOA. In choosing between living 90 miles away from good schools, your job, or a $100,000 divorce, most rational people will chose that which makes most sense (i.e., not living in redneckia).

But this is really another topic for another day.  The point is that if you are in HOA territory, it is a tougher sell to tell a neighbor that his non compliant wall wart or solar panel is interfering with your non compliant amateur set up.
