Bravo Stu this is what I have been trying to get across but everyone keeps lumping CC&R's and city anti-antenna ordinances in to the same group. They are not the same with CC&R's you agree to the re
Fellow Reflectees: I sure am simpathetic to the CC&R issue. It is ironic that property covered my CC&R's has a premium price on property with limited autonomy. I do not and will never own a piece of
Rick, et al, One thing you're forgetting, Rick, is the potential NEW hams who already have a house. If they discover ham radio and they're already living in a restricted neighborhood I doubt they wil
To: <towertalk@contesting.com> Hello Kris I agree not all hams can put up a tower and a HF beam, but there are alternatives. If there are tall trees in the back yard then stealth wire antennas can b
I don't see the First Amendment issue - a religion? right of association? possibly speech, but that is a stretch. If anything, it is a preemption issue. States (and political subdivisions of states
Stu, Congress was willing to direct the FCC to pre-empt all forms of local prohibition against satellite TV antennas, including CC&Rs. FCC wrote regs doing just that and then enforced them in some pr

Stu replied: And I respond: Oh, OK -- I thought you said earlier that the FCC should just take a general stand against interfering in property rights. I agree that we need to apply some serious muscl

Getting a little far afield, but re the airplane thing, the crybabies usually win, and the airports have to use noise abatement procedures and/or 'quiet hours'. 73. Gil W4PJI This list is sponsored b
Yes, you can win the CCR battle if you do it while the developer is in control and as a condition of buying the property. This is a response I posted a couple of years ago here about this same subjec
I'm not a lawyer, either, but I do know that, unfortunately, the Fifth Amendment is a restriction on government action, not private (e.g. contracts such as CC&R's). That's not to say that the basic p
Jon, I'm in total agreement with you. I made similar comments to my ARRL division director, Greg Milnes, and also in an TT post earlier today. Let's see what the League and other prominent HR organiz
Not necessarily so. I know of several people who had absolutely no idea the property they were purchasing had CC&Rs until they were presented the documentation at closing. In most cases, the CC&Rs a
