No, it doesn't have that limit. The first paragraph describes antennas for
satellite services and the second paragraph describes antennas for video
programming services. The third paragraph...

(3) An antenna that is designed to receive
local television broadcast signals. Masts
higher than 12 feet above the roofline may
be subject to local permitting requirements.

...describes antennas for broadcast television and no size limit is
described (only the height limit). By the way, a large 20M beam should
receive broadcast television fairly nicely (with a little hardware to cut
out the television while transmitting).

Read the rest of the ruling. It defines that the antenna may be located only
in your private area (patio, balcony), not in the public or mutually owned
areas (roof, outside wall). This makes it none too helpful for apartment and
condo dwellers. Accept it; there are some hobbies that are incompatible with
high-density dwellings.

What Ed is saying is: If you enjoy a hobby that requires an antenna or
anything outside your home forget it, buckle down to raising fish and
sell the radio hobby stuff.

That will be the day I turn my home over the HOA Cops, agreement or not.
If homeowners keep buckling down to these people next thing you will be
paying their mortgage and taxes.

Go Bless America for the freedoms our proud veterans fought for.

A very good example of the viewpoint of a rogue who tries to cloak her
improprieties in the blood of patriots and the silk of religion.

The fundamental civility of our society is based on our ability to enter
into contracts. We promise something and the other party promises something.
A contract is simply a permanent record of the defined promises. You are
expected to uphold your promises.

What I am saying is quite simple; if you don't like the terms of a contract,
then don't enter into it.

How does that chance anything I said, Ed? I said nothing about apartment
and condo dwellers, and nothing about antenna location.

It doesn't change anything you said. I posted my comments to amplify and
clarify your (and earlier poster's) comments, not as a refutation. Try not
to view everything as a challenge.

Perhaps I did respond defensively, but your "read the rest of the ruling"
comment suggested there was something in the rest of the ruling which should
have my attention (a conflict with what I wrote, perhaps). But, as stated, I
saw no conflict (or anything else that would specifically modify what I
wrote). Regardless, no big deal - a simple misunderstanding. It happens.
