 the California Supreme Court shifted the burden to the
 respondent (in this case, Jimmy Rich, the ham operator) to show that

 because the restriction was totally unreasonable but the judge was
 unimpressed, and Jimmy had to take his 75 foot crank-up tower down.
and previously in response to me:
 For a contract term to be valid and enforceable, it must, among other
 things, be  clear, be reasonable, not contrary to public policy, and
 the contract cannot be a "contract of adhesion" where the affected
 party has no other choice but to accept the terms rather than
 negotiate them.
So apparently, that one with the 75 tower was enforceable.
This leads back to my original question then, what part of having a
FCC grant of license gives amateurs the right to violate the terms
of a contract they signed?
