[SEDXC] FCC Seeks Comments on Impediments to Amateur Communications

[Dale M. Schwartz]

I am speaking on this subject on a legal panel sponsored by ARRL in Dayton in May.  Please give me copies of any comments you have on the issues -- it's exactly what we are focusing on in Dayton in preparation for the FCC study Congress is mandating on restrictive covenants and how they affect ham radio!

Before you roll your eyes, wondering what this has to do with contesting, see Question 2 on Page 3:

a. What private land use restrictions on residential antenna installations have amateur radio operators encountered?  What information is available regarding the prevalence of such restrictions?  What are the effects of unreasonable and unnecessary restrictions on the amateur radio community's ability to use the Amateur Radio Service?  Specifically, do these restrictions affect the amateur radio community's ability to respond to disasters, severe weather, and other threats to lives and property in the United States?  What actions can be taken to minimize the effects of these restrictions?

b. What criteria distinguish "unreasonable or unnecessary" private land use restrictions from reasonable and necessary restrictions?  How do local circumstances, such as neighborhood density or historic significance, affect whether a private land use restriction is reasonable or necessary?  How does the availability of alternative transmitting locations or power sources affect the reasonableness of a particular private land use restriction?
