How to - Avoid Homeowner antenna restrictions
WA4STO:
I have heard it stated that the vast majority of licensed radio amateurs live in homes with severe antenna restrictions built into Home Owners Association regulations, covenants, and even deeds.
There are LOTS of ways to overcome these difficulties. Here's one:
Operators like this tend to enjoy VHF and UHF contesting from high spots, for obvious reasons.
Oh, and don't forget that the millions of frequencies that these antennas are resonant on are available to the ham radio beginner. Remember, we give you all the questions, and all the answers to all the exams. In advance!

G.O.O.D applies to Austin as well as Dodge, methinks.
