Depending on the deed restrictions, even a flag pole may require an
architectural committee to review the plans before erecting even a
flag pole.

Right now the best antenna to put up for VHF use is a log periodic
that can look like a TV antenna. Some deed restricted associations
have so poor a turnouts for yearly meetings they cannot alter rules
that have been nulled by federal regulations. The Communications Act
of 1996 strikes down the blanket "No outside antenna" restrictions.
Associations should have gone back and altered restrictions to
prohibit outside TV antennae and restrict other antenna systems for
amateur and cb radio.

If they have not done that, then technically there is no antenna
restrictions. One should check their deed restrictions and updates and
confirm anything with a lawyer.
