That's been my experience in every move I've made. Not exactly conducive to
marital bliss either.

It is hard to find urban or suburban property any more that doesn't have
CCR's. When I moved to the Des Moines area from central Missouri a year ago,
I told the real estate agent about my need for an outdoor antenna and no
CCR's. That promptly eliminated 98% of all the listings he had. My size and
price requirements killed most of the rest. He said I was the hardest client
to work with (for those reasons alone) that he'd encountered in at least 5
years. Ultimately I found some rural property that has 5 acres, a reasonably
priced house and a pole barn, so I'm raising both antennas and chickens now.
But the FCC is whistling dixie if they think it isn't a problem. And there
is at least one city in the area (Ankeny IA) that has a 35 foot height
restriction that hasn't yet been challenged, so PRB-1 hasn't even solved all
the problems it was designed to solve!
