Palmdale, "Kalifornia" is attempting to outlaw amateur radio. The
city of Palmdale has now passed a draft zoning law that proposes an
enforcement unit that could seize amateur radio equipment and restrict
antenna height to one inch above a fixed structure's roof.

It also applies to mobile and portable operation using an HT. They can
even arrest you and take your HT just for walking down the street and
talking on it.

I am not kidding. Here is a link to the actual proposed ordinance
where you can read it for yourself.

Cities, or even States, can NOT regulate or restrict, ham radio.


Sure they can; all they need to do is pass an ordinance.

Whether or not someone has the resources to file a court challenge
and fight it is a separate issue.
