When we were house-hunting in the mid-80s, we found our current home in a
neighborhood that already sported a 90-foot crank-up tower and Hy-Gain
tribander (K6IR/3 (SK).) I figured that either the neighborhood's HOA rules
were silent on towers or, if not, not enforced. Turns out it was the latter,
so we eventually bought just down the block from Ken. I had no HOA trouble
when I applied for a county permit and constructed my 64-footer in the back
yard.
Sometimes you get lucky.

Fortunately my 60-year-old subdivision's covenants, which forbid any
"structures" without approval, are similarly moribund because of not
being enforced. In any case, my defense of my 5-year-old AB-577
installation, should either the home-owners association or the county
raise any question, is that it's really just a temporary antenna
support. Take that!
