I seem to remember that a ham tower was protected from some homeowner restrictions by federal law.

Because of required emergency communication assistance during a national emergency.

Which is part of your license..¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

On the other hand you wouldn't want to fuck your fellow homeowners over.

You could also rig up a cheap handy talky in repeater mode and attach it to a balloon, a kite or a drone..🪁😊

TV antennas are protected but unfortunately amateur radio doesn't enjoy those protections, I really wish they were. But so far it's not impacted my ability to get QSOs on 2m/70cm.

It's all good. In an ideal world you'd be right haha

I have read about proposed legislation to protect ham operator rights but you know how that goes. They'll talk about it for 30 years and make no decisions.
