Oh, boy, another CC&R debate! Can I bring some popcorn?

Not to pour cold water on your multiple unwarranted guesstimations, OM,
but there are some things you're assuming that aren't necessarily so.

1. CC&R's or other homeowner agreements may or may not obligate
homeowner to avoid erecting separate antenna structures, but you don't
know that they specifically prohibit the use of concealed antennas for
amateur radio.

2. The terms of the contracts people sign are subject to the laws in
effect when they signed them, and those laws might invalidate
restrictions on ham radio.

3. If you intend for everyone else in the body politic to help you
arrange your world so that nobody ever does anything that annoys you,
causes you to rethink your position, or requires you to admit to having
preconceived notions, then I suggest you find a convenient cave and take
out a lease, provided the CC&R's and homeowner agreements are everything
you expect.

HTH. HAND. YMMV.
