Limited Antennas Overlay – Operation is limited to the use of single- element antennas such as a single vertical, end-fed wire, or a single dipole antenna no more than 50 feet above ground at its highest point. The antenna(s) may cover multiple bands, as in the case of multiband verticals and dipoles with fan or trap constructions.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this ?

As the guy on the CAC who wrote the words that someone in HQ re-wrote to weaken them, and who lived 80% of my years as a ham on a city with low wires, I think it's a great idea. I championed it as soon as I saw the suggestion from a group of hams, in the SE, I think. And from 3830 posts, it's clear that it's been quite popular.
