It is the CC&R's which must be overturned in law. Only then can a potential resident have a chance of negotiating for a variance.
Neither you or I have any 'right' to interfere in how others perceive their view. Or perceive your antenna.
You seem insistent that you have some right to be free to do whatever you prefer and that what others prefer is irrelevant. Your world is a place I don't want to live in.
First, thank you for making my point a bit clearer. Many people that move into restricted neighborhoods do so in part for the appearance of the community as a whole. And while ham operators may well look in awe of your aluminum farm, others may find it repugnant. And it's their 'right' to be repulsed. Because, it the real world, your opinion isn't the only one that matters, and if more than one other person disagrees you ARE in the minority.
Secondly, and I will approach this as non-politically as I possibly can.
One side of the political coin, it would seem, is the here are the laws and regulations. You have to follow all the laws and regulations. You may disagree with them, and you live in a country that you have the power to change them. But until they are changed, they are the laws of the land. More over, they also believe that a contract, is a mans word. You give that word, sign on the dotted line and agree to ALL parts of said contract. Because an HOA agreement and a CC&R are legally binding contracts. They are civil in nature, but are enforcable by the laws of the state and country pertaining to contracts. These folks believe that if you sign, you agree and are not going to come back later and argue that your "rights" have somehow been violated by entering into said contract and look for remedy.
The other side see's things a bit different. They are about them. They feel that they should not necessarily stand behind their word they gave to abide by their previous agreements. And they further will roll over others rights as long as it makes them feel better about themselves and their perception of what the world should be.
I have said before on here.... I am pro second amendment. I am a gun owner... and I shoot for recreation and fun. It's a hobby. Just like ham radio. Which I of course am also a participant in.
I got into a interesting conversation with a fellow gun guy a while back and he couldn't understand the reasoning of the mass hysteria of the anti-gun folks, and how they could possibly hold such a strong belief. I replyed it's simple... you know the few fruit loops that claim that "they will pry my guns from my cold dead hands"? You know the type... well their are anti-gun folks that are the very same way. And their are documented cases of a law abiding citizen gun owner saving a anti-gun person and that person turning around and suing the gun owner for putting them in danger by having a gun in their presents. And a few have won. Those are the people that will smile every time they look at their Mom's Demand Action bumper sticker on their BMW and smile every day until the guns are gone and Bernie Sanders, or someone like him gains full control and the government kicks them out of their house and takes their BMW away and leaves them with a Government Motors spec vehicle to drive. Only at that point will they understand why we HAD the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. And not one minute before.
The point is this. There are people that will argue against ANYTHING they don't agree with and celebrate the change they had some part in making until it blows up in their face.
With the gun thing, it will be pretty much as I laid out, its happened many times before, and in recent history.
With radio and antenna's to will go a bit different, the sign carrying protesters will finally strike a nerve and the entirety or the ham bands will be gone, making the whole antenna argument mute. All the licenses will be canceled and the frequencies will be turned over to FEMA specifically for disaster relief use only, or sold off to the highest bidder at auction. And if I am around to see it, I will get on here and thanks the whiners for destroying the hobby, cuss and swear a bit and then go take my towers down and find more renters for the big tower. But at no time will I argue that I have the RIGHT to talk on 3898 or 14.250 and sit there keyed up in protest. I may well however move to Texas, because by then the liberals wil be tossed out on their ear and they will have seceded from the union and started asking political affiliation at the border.
