Hello All
I have been following this thread and I read the newsletter from the ARRL. I
don't think this is an issue for the ARRL or the FCC. After all if you
choose to buy a house in an area that has CC&R's then you know from the time
you bought the house you couldn't put up a tower or outside antenna. If you
buy a house without CC&R's then find out that the city has restrictions on
towers or outside antennas then you can use PB-1 to fight it.
It is up to the buyer to find out these things before you buy a house. You
can make it part of the contract that there are no restrictions on towers or
outside antennas. If it is revealed that there are restrictions then the
contract is void.
If you can't find an area where their are no CC&R's then you can buy land in
the country and have plenty of room for towers and such. You have to decide
which is more important to you and your family, no antennas or ham radio and
a nice neighborhood close to schools malls and work or a country home (
maybe not as nice as a city home) where you can have all the towers you want
but have to drive farther to work, schools and the mall. You have choices it
is not fair to impose our likes on our neighbors just because we are hams.
Just my point of view on this

P.S. I live in the country. 20 min drive to the nearest town of any size and
45 min drive to the nearest big city.
