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.

taking effect. You can read all about it he

I also got the 404 error. His other link to qrz worked and I got this
working link of Palmdale's website mentioning ham antennas dated
December 2008.
