The Communications Act of 1996 strtikes down the blacket Clause of "No
Outside Antennae". It does not state that an association can not
restrict against outside antennae. The clause "no Outide Antenna" is
to general. Furhtermore the law also sets forth what antennae that can
not be restricted. These are antennae th at are designed to receive
over the air television broadcast and direct satellite televison
recption.

A homeowners association/ deed restrictions can clarify the struck
down provsion of "No Outside Antennae" by writing regulations and or
deed restriction that specify what is and what is not acceptable.

You need to check with a lawyer and reveiw your deed restrictions
carefully before you do anything. The one certainty that I can say is
if yo uwish to install a 30 cm direct TV dish on you property that is
deed restricted, that deed restriction has been nulified. It does not
give you the right to install a 80 foot tower and put up a phased
array of 8 element yagis for CB or any other CB antennae.
