Default Want to REALLY annoy your HOA???

Hams, and Cbers, want to really annoy your HOA?

Use a CB HT.

I just found this rule:

"There are no height restrictions for antennas mounted on vehicles or
for hand-held units (CB Rule 8)."

So just put a big honking antenna on your cb ht (walkie talkie) that
goes way above the roof of your house and
way above 20 feet above your line without it being connected to your
house at all, just to your ht.

However, I don't suggest doing it with your vehicle even though its
legal. There's a lot of low-level bridges and
fast food drive throughs, etcetera. And very dangerous power lines.


If you do do it with your ht, make sure there's no power lines or such
around that it can accidentally touch.

So you don't get electrocuted.

The HOA would really love that one.
