While it is not the preferred method of going about this, I am going against my CC&Rs until I get caught. Again, not the best way to promote amateur radio. To be honest, my 2-meter verticals looks a helluvalot better than some of these TV antennas that are erected on the top of other homes in the neighborhood.
Although a small vert for 2-meters is not the same as a 24' 6-BTV mounted on a 10' mast. Still, there are many others in our community who are not following the CC&Rs when it comes to the registering or storage of vehicles, yard maintenance. So if the HOA is not going to enforce those rules, should I even worry? For now, no I won't.
In the future if I get a letter stating to take t down, I will oblige, but it won't be long before I have a 34' flagpole in my back yard flying the red, white and blue.
