It's a good idea to know the rules in your neighborhood. It's unlikely
that there's an outright ban on antennas. Of course, the rules might be
worded strangely like they are for my HoA, and if you ask nicely, an
ambiguous wording can probably be turned to your advantage.

I don't think you and Jonathan live in neighborhoods where there has
been an influx of New Orleans refugees. HOAs do serve a purpose, and
nothing is perfect. I also feel that hams sometimes vastly overrate
the power of HOAs in regards to antennas. Yes, they can start lawsuits
over the matter of deed restrictions, but those suits run for years
and are expensive for both sides. Perhaps Jonathan’s HOA is wealthy
and zealous, but I can’t make the same claim about mine. They pick
their battles carefully. I have 40-foot trees in my backyard and TWO
HF antennas. Nary a peep from my HOA. Of course it would be a
different matter if I stuck a rhombic beam in my FRONT yard.
In ,my youth, there was a ham in an affluent Baton Rouge neighborhood
that had a rhombic on a HUGE tower that straddled his driveway!

The only answer to HOAs is to refuse to buy a house that has an HOA
with antenna restrictions. If you buy the house and agree, you are
stuck with the restrictions you agreed to. If most people will
readily agree, then you will have trouble finding a house to buy, but
there are some. If you want to live in an organized sub-division
where everyone needs to conform to the rules, then you are the problem
because most people do not want to live where someone might interfere
with their soap opera to use a transmitter. If your spouse insists on
living in such an awful place, then it is up to you to convince the
spouse the error of their ways, suffer the consequences or live with
someone else or alone. It is all up to you!

what we need do to is to eliminate all HOA's and their control freaks all

in the house. These folks have nothing better to do than mess up peoples
lives
These HOA's are somebodys idea of a wet dream
