 The notion of Home owners associations being voluntary is comparable to the 
same notion that living in a racist society is voluntary and that segregation 
is voluntary for people who choose to live in the south.  When a vast majority 
of land owners choose the same form of land control, its hard to fight and it 
is discrimination against the ham radio subculture.  

 

HOA's can't stop me from buying if I'm German, but they can if I have an 
antenna.  There is a major difference here than having rules of where you put 
your RV or trash cans. Hoa's limit owners freedom of expression and if you took 
it to the Nth degree where everyone has a HOA, then everyone looses their 
freedom of expression.  We should not close our eyes just because its not 
happening to us direectly on our own property. The CC&R issue is having a major 
negative threat on our activities and lifestyles and when and if they get 
everywhere our activity will die.

 

That's why we should seek a change in the laws from Congress.  That should be 
the number one issue at the ARRL.  

 

However witht he reality of the CC&R we should have a robust structure of 
activities to do on VHF where you can hide the antennas and encourage
