You are clearly incapable of answering questions honestly.

Good show!

K1VSK Said:  "you know how to do a zip code search on a popular ham radio web site which would answer you own question?"

Wow, You just couldn't explain it to us? We can't really get any kind of details that way about your specific setup,, such as feedlne, lightning protection, etc., but if you don't want to be forthcoming and share with your fellow hams? Why?

K1VSK said: "Do you have any credible and verifiable data indicating antenna limitations in HOAs precludes activity?"

Why YES Don, I do: And it's already been cited numerous times here.
As I'm certain you must recall: The Source was the ARRL!
I for one, am GLAD that you belong to the ARRL and help to fund these kind of things: It shows an obligation that goes above Self, and Good on you for it... Because it shows CHARACTER on your part!


K1VSK said: Can you comprehend either of the aforementioned questions?

Yes I can, Don! And there's nothing better than calling out and taking a Bully down when presented with loaded questions: With Facts, and Logic!


K1VSK said: "Bonus points - based on recent comments here, do you think the ARRL is being proactive in defining a problem they indicate requiring a solution?"

Challenge Taken on Bonus Points! And ALREADY SCORED! Because we haven't heard ONE PEEP from those 50+ Happy HOA Hams over there in your Stomping Grounds! That whole Happy HOA Thing in spite of overwhelming evidence to the Contrary? That was sure a big mistake on your part, and QUITE a Whopper! We all got a Good Laugh from that one!

K1VSK said: "Or are you off your meds prematurely? (A rhetorical question)"

Don: Many People find meditation helpful when things have gotten so bad for them that they start projecting upon others. Have you considered petitioning St. Maxim in your time of need?

And now that I've answered YOUR Questions,
Will YOU take the Amateur Radio Parity Test(t.m.)?
