The obvious action to take is to make the antenna higher. I wonder,
though, what one is supposed to do in places where there are strict
antenna height limits (welcome to Boulder County, folks)? Will the courts
say that it is still OK to have a strict height limit with the one way to
circumvent these limits (partially) -- QRO -- removed as an option?

I know we aren't big guns, but this sure looks like trouble for anyone with
a house-mounted (or balcony) antenna and 100W.  Actually, this will probably
also hit anyone operating mobile HF.  "Raising the tower" would be nice, but
when you live in an apartment, there isn't much tower to raise.
