Putting up an antenna system is not an absolute right. The battle has
raged for years. A search on The ARRL Web Site will yield lots of current
information on the subject. In most cases which I have read, community
restrictions on antenna structures have held up. That's not good but true.
A friend of mine won his case by a detailed reading of his Neighborhood
Association Contract. For example, the contract stated that none of the
units could have front porches but three houses did. His bargaining chip
was "If you'll knock down your front porches, I'll take down my antenna.
Search ARRL site.
