This has nothing to do with an  antenna or tower, but for an interesting view of how a homeowner's
association architectural committee works, or doesn't work, the above link should prove interesting in
addition to a televised meeting of one committee meeting.

Next week on the Home and Garden Channel (HGTV) on the program "Dream House" the program will be
devoted to a couple who has been trying to build a house in a restricted housing development and the
problems they and their architect go through meeting and dealing with the Homeowner's Association
Architectural Committee.  My XYL Cheryl (WY5H) watches this channel all the time and just happened to
see the sound/video byte on next week's program tonight (7/22).  The quick clip showed one member of
the committee mouthing off "we've never allowed anything like this before why should we start now.",
while their architect argues the committee has no legal standing.  My XYL said from the teaser
sound/video byte the committee meeting may get rather heated.

According to HGTV's program schedule, this program airs July 29 at 10:30 p.m. Eastern and at 1:30 a.m.
July 29.  Our cable system shows it on channel 62 on expanded basic cable, but check your local
listings to see if it is offered in your area either on cable or via satellite.  Also the above web
link will give you additional information.
