When I was a teenage in the 60's, I helped my buddy Henry, WB4LEQ with his Gotham cubical quad.  He was watching the SWR meter while I was up on a ladder adjusting the reflector tuning link, and got a nice RF burn when our 'He keyed, I adjust' got out of whack.  Check this out...https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NHgQyLQsIxA   you can hear the radio station in the arc.  I have a friend in High Point NC that is next door to a 17KW AM station, with his antennas, a vertical and 2 EFHW's 400 feet from the AM tower.

The following is a message I received and am forwarding.  It concerns HOA 
restrictions for amateur radio towers and a topic worth an effort to contact 
your elected representatives.  It is an effort of the ARRL who, long ago, 
gave me permission to forward this type of content.  This is specific to 
Oklahoma, but the Section Manager in your area can provide you information 
for where you live.  I do encourage you to participate directly with your 
elected representatives.

As you are likely aware, there are two bills before Congress which will 
protect amateur radio antennas from overly restrictive HOA rules and 
covenants, HR 4066 and SB 3690.

John Stratton, N5AUS, West Gulf Division Director has initiated a letter 
writing campaign for the West Gulf Division.  For those of us in Oklahoma, 
we need to contact our respective Senators and House members to encourage 
their support of these measures.  The bills have a goodly amount of 
bipartisan support for this issue and we must strike while the soldering 
iron is hot!

We need Congress to approve these bills, and we need your help as an 
individual amateur radio operators to help encourage our Oklahoma 
legislators to take action to pass them.

To download the pre-formatted letters, go to https://ok.arrl.org/hoa/. 
Scroll down and select the appropriate 'individual letter/s'.  Remember, you 
would need to prepare letters for BOTH Senators as well as your 
Representative.

Please click on the appropriate letter and modify it for your information. 
Print the documents, sign them (three total, 2 Senators, 1 Representative) 
in BLUE pen, scan them in color, and email them to n5hzr at arrl.org. Or, mail 
the papers to Mark Kleine, PO Box 817, Norman, OK 73070-0817.

Time is of the essence!!!  We need to get these letters into the hands of 
our Congressional delegation ASAP!!!
