[TowerTalk] HAM GATHERING SIGNATURES ON PETITION TO VOID ANTENNA PROHIBITIONS

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

No, you will find the FCC's ruling on OTARD (over the air receiving
device - e.g. satellite and TV antennas) applies to private contracts
including HOAs, rental contracts, and builder imposed deed limits.

The FCC - and any other *federal* authority - has the power to preempt
private contracts simply by declaring the terms of the contract
"contrary to public policy."  It is the same authority used to void
many other "private" restrictions regarding public accommodation,
housing, memberships, etc.
