I must say at the outset that I am hesitant to buy an antenna based on its form-factor, but I'm forced by the local code to not display bare-element type antennae on the mast. As others have mentioned, this is mostly incorrect. The problem is in the interpretation of the word "unreasonable", which might be interpreted in a variety of ways. Without details on your situation, I can't comment on this. The FCC website has quite a bit of info on interpretation (from various regulatory and legal actions) of what is and isn't unreasonable. Paint color: reasonable, restrictions on location: unreasonable, restrictions on form of antenna: unreasonable. I do like the panel style for the reason that I can arrange 3 around a common mast, aimed at remote cities, and join the outputs for increased coverage. Mast? Welcome to "unreasonable". The FCC 47.1.4000 clause that limits antenna installation has nothing to say about the supporting structure. While the HOA may not be able to prevent you from installing an antenna, they most certainly will have something to say about the design and construction of the supporting structure. They may also demand that it be installed by a licensed and insured installer to protect themselves against subsequent litigation. I know you don't want to hear about all this, but methinks you should at least be warned before blundering onward. Hah.. go look at the case of Stanley and Vera Holliday.. 5 masts 30 ft high, multiple dishes and antenans... http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Cable/Ord...9/da992132.txt an analysis at http://dirt.umkc.edu//dd99/DD991025.htm |
