Hams are kooks. Hope they do it. Just listen to 14.275 any weekend. Justification 4 the same. okay. If I was a ham living in Palmdale, California right now, I would do this kooky thing. The proposed law says antennas are not allowed to be one inch over the roof line at all. And unless I'm mistaken, I think it says antennas on portable ht's are exempt from the antenna laws. So I wonder how Palmdale would like itt if I sat on top of my roof with a portable ham HT in my hand, talking on it, in which case the antenna on it would be MORE than one inch above the roof line of the house. Hey, they did say portable ham HT's are exempt from the law, unless I misread something. When you're not allowed any antenna towers over one inch above the roof line, what better way to get better reception than to talk on your HT while sitting on top of your roof? hmmm... another idea. I guess there is a better way. Nope. I thought of using an extension cord to set your base/mobile rig on top of the roof using a mag mount antenna on a pizza pan, while talking on it, but base/mobile rigs aren't exempt from Palmdale's laws and would count as an illegal antenna over one inch above the roof line. Back to the talking on a portable HT while you're sitting on top of the roof of your house. I wonder how Palmdale would like those aesthetics. Of course they'll probably still try to get you for having an antenna over one inch above the roof line. But you can then show them their ordinance that says HT's are exempt. However, a ham winning against them in court when they revoked his permit for an antenna two years after they gave him one.. is what prompted them to try to pass this latest proposed ordinance to eliminate all ham radio they can. At least that's what several people have said. |
