I figured that this would only let me put up a TV antenna. But I also know that to the untrained eye, a TV antenna and a VHF/UHF beam might look pretty similar. But I was also hoping to get the HOA used to thinking that the antenna restrictions where unenforceable. Then put up a vertical with a TV antenna on top for loading. In FCC Docket 96-83, the proceeding that established the FCC's OTARD rules (Section 1.4000) as directed by Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, there was specific wording that the "preemption" applied to antennas used exclusively for TV/video reception or for transmission incidental to operation of such systems (subscriber feedback, download ordering, etc.) A "TV antenna" or look-alike used for ham radio is specifically not preempted nor is there any intent to preempt ham radio antennas even if used for TV reception.
