There has been a lot posted about antenna restrictions. Here in the Kansas
city area it's no different. Wanting to buy a new home, I have been to many,
many new housing additions. I recently found an addition that had a few
larger lots left. I currently use a TX-455 and X9 with slopers. I will have
to give this up when I move next summer. As the builders are now offering
cheap stereo systems with in-ceiling speakers, I will probably have to
mothball the Alpha as well. I recently bought a Big SteppIR vertical that I
hope I can somehow put up when I move. I selected the largest lot, which
adjoins a horse ranch. The CC&R's in my subdivision say something like this:
SECTION 13
No outside television or radio antenna, or satellite dish or receiver, shall
be erected, installed or maintained on any Lot, or on any structure on the
Lot, except that one satellite dish or receiver not exceeding two (2) feet
in diameter shall be permitted on the side, roof, or chimney of a dwelling
house.
SECTION 15
No outbuildings, storage sheds, storage tanks, or any other free-standing
structure detached from the residence shall be constructed or maintained on
any Lot.
So, I guess If you want full blown ham radio, you need to live on a large
acreage, away from other people. ($$$). Or, live in a shack next to a crack
house where nobody cares. I doubt if anyone ever cracks the CC&R's on behalf
of ham radio. I have to admit, I have seen some really trashy looking
antenna setups. Most non-hams see all of them as trashy looking and a blight
on the neighborhood, not to even mention the RFI. If I can use the vertical,
I think it will satisfy my current needs.
HNY to all,
73, Tom W0HH
