I went through this once as a rover. It worked by step five for me.
1.First thing is if you have public streets park the vehicle on the public
street, unless your ccrs trip this up. If there is no barrier to who parks
on the street then it seperates the vehicle from your property. Some ccmrs
would say no trailers ect... However if the truck is on public property it
cant be attached to the house. Also I think they are on shakey grounds on
the hooking your truck to your house rules.
2. Next, is to walk the nieghborhood with your camera and take a picture of
every violation or concieved violation. Print this out and save it for
later.
3. Next address the homeowners association, tell them politely what your
truck does. Show them your licence. This shows them its part of a hobbie.
Amateur radio opperators are banned from comercial use of thier equipment ot
services. Therefore it is impossible for you truck to be a "comercial
vehicle."
4. Politely tell them if the existance of a second antenna on a vehicle
consitutes a comercial vehicle appearance they will need to remove the 2nd
antennas from all the other vehicles in the nieghborhood. (take pictures).
Otherwise they need to vote on the number of antenneas per vehicle. This
should be interesting if a police officer lives in the nieghborhood.
5. Then show them all the other violations they need to correct to ensure
that they do not get sued for selective enforcement of the rules.
6. Then tell them you think they are singling you out becuase of your ethnic
decent (pick one).
7. Burn down the HOA president's house as a friendly warning.
8. Get a lawyer if they wont listen to you in the meeting.
Picking steps 4,5,6 amd 7 are optional.
