last time i checked , your antenna can be 60 feet out of the tallest tree .
What does a no fly zone have to do with antenna erection? No fly zones are for security or safety purposes.if you live in a fly zone, you have to get an engineer to give it an ok .
What does this have to do with HOA's?al long as you do not cause microwaves , phones , tv's etc to modulate or disrupt communications on the ham band , FCC has no right to come on ya property for anything .
number 4 . if you here voices pack ya bags and move to another location . lol lol lo lol must be some crazy guys on 80 meters looking at them tubes glow , or an 11 meter junkie at it again .
An HOA may dictate that there be absolutely no antennas regardless of height. Period.
What does a no fly zone have to do with antenna erection? No fly zones are for security or safety purposes.
What does this have to do with HOA's?
Did you actually read and understand what this thread is about?
OK, so great, you do not have an HOA were you live, so blow it off right?
No reason you should get involved and help voice the concerns `s of 1000`s of other Hams that do have to deal with it right?
Screw that, just because my neighborhood is good, why should it concern me that my fellow Amateur Radio operators find themselves `s in housing developments, city`s or county`s that pass new city laws or rules that out right prohibit radio antennas, or so severely restricts antenna installations as to have the same material effect of making Amateur Radio operation on the HF bands almost impossible.

read again guys ive answered all the ????? only is certain private neighborhoods that people make up these laws and regulations so a judge will kind of pass it while getting his palms greased. its hard to be a technician and brains . as long as we are talking about amateur radio there is no such thing as HOA's in NJ by me . this so called HOA sounds more like a biker club or a group that is not affliliated with my surroundings . im waiting for the die hard hams to quote on this big topic , nor i dont think they are not really worried about an organization that is built on fear and abusing there power just because someone puts up a bigstick or a cubical quad . pleaseeeeeeeeeeee:bdh:
Is this about those gated neighborhoods with all the rules and regulations?
Yes it is but some are not even gated. They are just all together in a newly developed area.
My sister n bil own a house in a gated community....the house is next to a designated wetland and a woods.....no problems with the hoa....its like living in the country....deer and blue herrings walk up into the yard all the time......there are rules like no basketball hoops and no bass boats in the drive....and you pay for garbage removal and snow removal.
Right and some HOA's have almost no rules and others have insane totalitarian rules with a bunch of pricks on the board that run out every day with a ruler checking to make sure everybody's grass has been cut to the proper length. I see the point of having some rules to protect property values and the looks of the community as a whole but sometimes things get taken far too far. Things like no junked cars in the yard and no peeling paint on the house etc are fine but no antennas whatsoever and no RV's parked so they are visible from the street along with grass length and watering are crazy.
And definitely NO whirligigs!
