Default Palmdale California To Pass Anti Ham Radio Law

Very disturbing is Palmdale's law (if the proposed ordinance passes or
did it already pass?) which gives Homewowner Associations the
authority to determine if you are operating your ham radio (or CB)
within RF safety limits or not. And if you're operating your ham radio
(or CB) legally or not. And how much power wattage you can use.

Are those people even going to know what the legal FCC rules are
abvout RF safety exposure limits???

And if so, are they even going to follow them if they decide they
theirsselves don't like the look of any antennas and so there should
be none???

If they trylyknew theFCC rules and were truly concerned about RF
safety exposure to the public, they would be complaining that you must
make your antenna higher, no lower.

If they claim to be concerned about rf safety exposure limits to other
people and tell you have to lower your antenna to comply with rf laws
to reduce rf exposure to other people, then you know that they're NOT
going by the real true FCC rules about RF exposure.

And know that they're NOT qualified to make such deccisions.
