Let me ask a question of all the regulars on the Forum. How many of you think the average homeowner is aware of OTARD (
http://www.hindmansanchez.com/resources/article/fcc-otard-rule-concerning-satellite-dishes-and-antennas-questions-and-answers/ )

When I had my business several years ago I dealt with homeowners all the time, and when the subject of cable tv prices and outdoor antenna options came up, most did not know that OTA TV was still an option. The folks that knew OTA TV was still available, thought they had to use an indoor antenna because of the HOA rules against outdoor installations.
So to answer my own question, I would say NOT Many, in fact I would say very few at best...
So what organization is threatened by antennas becoming the "Norm" in residential areas again??? The HOA's? CABLE TV Companies???
Let's see, HOA's are mostly non-profits with dues going into a general fund for the upkeep of the common areas/buildings that homeowners use. CAI represents HOA's and the industries that provide services to HOA controlled communities. CAI asked for some compromise language in the Amateur Radio Parity Act, but they didn't lobby for it to be Killed..
Now, suspect number 2: The Cable Companies... Do they care about ham radio? I would normally say, "NO".. But, I believe they do not want antennas becoming a "Normal" thing seen in the neighborhood again. AND!!! Sen. Bill Nelson has stated several times he is not a supporter of the OTARD rule.
So what do ya all think??? Is Sen. Nelson protecting the non-profit HOA folks, or is he a CABLE TV puppet???
