When ever someone complains about my antenna, I start thinking about making a spark gap transmitter.

Not sure what your implying by phone use, but I do know reliable 2-way communication is required for OD loads. Cell phones can lose signals so that wouldn't be reliable.
I'm not implying. The whole question about the legality of using a CB came about because of the restrictions on cell phone use while driving. I'm not suggesting using a phone for OD loads.
Ok,
No current restrictions on CB or Amateur radio use while driving in the US.
Years ago, Coconino county(Flagstaff Az) did it for ALL electronic devices while driving in that county including ALL radio's and GPS. Thanks to the Amateur radio community in that area that ruling was quickly amended for ALL radio's at least.
Thanks for that word.
I know my community goes to GREAT LENGTH (AND TO GREAT VERBAL LENGTH !!!!) to spell out that their focus is on any electronics that make use of a central network service. They are trying hard to come up with a "wide open" way of saying "cell phones" that they can also use to include other services IF they wish. But plainly, ham.... CB..... none of these use any kind of commercial service as a network. You turn it on, push the button.....BOOM you there!!!!!!

I currently have (10) antennas up & I have one of those that will be removed & (5) others going up.I would not live in any home even for Totally FREE where someone else is telling me what I can do on my property.I paid for it & I'll use it as I see fit.I don't care if the neighbors or anyone else likes it.I'm not in the business of pleasing them just my wife & I & she has ero issues with them.

Passed my Technicians license test today, at least I have that under my belt.
I actually have a tattered piece of thick paper from 1980 which is an actual FCC license. I am entitled to operate a radio station up to 15 watts within the frequencies I was trained for. ( probably ATC meat head) Oh well I guess I can't use that damn shiny topped palomar I have. Fat chance. Only one cool neighbor has approached
me who after 1 year noticed my HOA camouflaged GM antenna. He just got his HAM ticket and was excited to know his neighbor was into it as well. I told him I'm 11 meter only. He dont even use 11. He enjoys listening. God bless him. No complaints so far.

I know this is an older thread but:
I am in the process of getting ham, and cell service in a small Adirondack town with too many NIMBY'S from New York city and the dimwits from other states escaping the crime riddled cities.
I anticipate resistance from people who want to be rescued in a timely manor. BUT don't want to see any thing other than a tree??? The Adirondack park authority is another NON elected bunch from the city that became some kind of commie organization.
I own 50 acres on a small mountain un developed just a rock almost straight up overlooking the town. and would serve many small hamlets and cover a few remote roads that have NO EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS COVERAGE!!
Wish me luck
