Where is it? Can you support that claim with any evidence? Your response should be interesting...
Not a single one of the numerous hams I know living in an HOA (nor anyone else) have ever been asked - must be some “double secret” survey. Did they only ask you?
RE: "Survey"
Sort of. In the ARRL Comments filed on Docket 12-91, COMMISSION SEEKS COMMENT ON EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS BY AMATEUR RADIO AND IMPEDIMENTS TO AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS, the ARRL alludes to
" . . . a very short online survey of those Commission-licensed radio Amateurs who are both active in emergency communications and currently subject to residential private land use restrictions where they live. "I don't remember this survey, and have not been able to find it on the ARRL web site, but in that Comment to Docket 12-91 they include
" Exhibit C hereto is a compilation of the language provided by some of the survey respondents. Exhibit D is a compilation of but a few examples of the experiences of radio Amateurs whose Amateur Radio emergency communications efforts have been foreclosed by or severely curtailed as the direct result of private land use regulations." If you don't remember, this was the famous "Study" that the ARRL got the Congress to mandate, which was
intended to prove that antenna restrictions were impeding or preventing emergency communications. The ARRL wanted DHS to conduct the "Study" because they had someone on the inside who would give them the result they wanted;
but the Congress assigned it to the FCC, which found that antenna restrictions were NOT precluding or impeding emergency communications, just the opposite of what the ARRL wanted!
The "Study" was supposed to provide the support for ARPA. Despite the failure of the study, ARRL went ahead with ARPA anyway, and we should remember what happened from there over the following several years.
