So like Chuck said - I'd like to see some references on that.



FCC RULES ON ANTENNA RESTRICTIONS

I THINK YOU ALL ARE REFERRING TO THE FCC Over-the-Air Reception
Devices Rule
Preemption of Restrictions on Placement of Direct Broadcast Satellite,
Broadband Radio Service, and Television Broadcast Antennas

This rule says basically that you can have an antenna in an area that
is available for your exclusive use. That would include your living
room, and the confines of a private balcony.

"A: No. The rule does not prohibit restrictions on antennas installed
beyond the balcony or patio of a condominium or apartment unit if
such installation is in, on, or over a common area. An antenna that
extends out beyond the balcony or patio is usually considered to be
in a common area that is not within the scope of the rule. Therefore,
the rule does not apply to a condominium or rental apartment unit
unless the antenna is installed wholly within the exclusive use area,
such as the balcony or patio"

However, not all town houses have such areas. I lived in one that
specifically stated that anything from the drywall out belonged to the
association. I would not have been allowed to stake an antenna in
the dirt in front of my house, or projecting out from a window.
