I guess I don't understand the problem, nor do I see a reasonable argument. What part of "no antenna" did you fail to understand as you voluntarily signed your name in agreement?
This is a very good point. I detest HOA's, thus I don't live under them.
As Rushmore points out, though, no one is forced to live under these mini-tyranies. When you buy in, you do so of your own free will. One assumes that the buyer is presented with a copy of HOA bylaws, prior to purchase, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to read and understand those bylaws, before buying the property, as agreement to them is part of the condition of sale.
The one exception would be inheritance. I rented a room from a young woman who inherited her house from her grandfather. Apparently, she had the house for a year, before she was even aware that an HOA existed in that neighborhood; then, she was only made aware by a letter stating that she was violating some bylaw. I think that her lawnmower broke, and she was unable to cut her grass for a couple of weeks.
At any rate, she was not made aware of the HOA, or agreed to any bylaws, before taking possession of the property. Indeed, it's quite fathomable that she didn't even know that there was such a thing as HOA's. I was in my 20's, before I was aware of them, and that was only because my parents lived under one. It just never would have occurred to me that people would voluntarily give up their property rights for the privilege of living in a particular neighborhood. So, perhaps she, and those under similar circumstances, may have a case or an argument, there.
But, if you signed that agreement, while I sympathize with, and fully comprehend, your dissatisfaction, I have to agree with Rushmore; it's on you.
The good news is, you do have the option of finding someone willing to buy your house, and selling it to them. Then you can buy a house in an area more free. I went to the country, myself, and found a much larger chunk of land, and for a far cheaper price. I could build a replica of a space station in my front yard, for use as a ham shack, and the only objection would come from my wife. My neighbors would likely find it to be odd, but outside of saying, "That boy is an odd one", they couldn't do anything about it. Nor, would they want to.
