Kudos to all involved!

But hams need antennas to make it happen. And we need news stories like
these to show to home owner association and towns as to why we should be
allowed to have antennas.

Indeed tis true but isn't it ironic that nearly everyone had antennas on
the roof top for TV and FM back 30+ years ago! No one complained.

And today in Silicon Valley ($800,000+ homes), many homes still have
antennas up on the roof even though they are on cable or dish TV. No one
complains, and few HOA's.

You're right - NO ONE complained of antennas before - why now?

I am on council here - and an issue came up regarding Antennas and towers.
Being a "ham" myself - was able to thwart any issues there. When "Zoning"
came in - I questioned "their" rules on Towers and Antennas. Theirs are
limited to "Commercial" towers - with regard to fencing, posting of signage,
etc.

Some people in some areas are just too damned particular.
