FCC rulings in several cases have held that HOA regulations or CC&Rs can
prohibit erection of antennas on property that they have jurisdiction
over, but only the FCC can determine who and where radio transmitters
can be operated.

HOAs cannot prohibit installation of TV reception antennas, including
parabolic reflectors up to 30" (36"?) on parts of the building under
exclusive control of the would-be receiver.

As a licensed amateur, the FCC allows me to determine when and where I
may transmit.

I find the invisible (stealth?) ham a fascinating subspecies and think
the hobby is better for them. Homeowners associations at best protect
property values, and reserve official actions for obvious infractions.
"Reasonable" goes a long way with good ones.
