[Antennas] PRB-1

[KD5SFA]

Actually WRT satelllite dishes....the FCC has a law that indicates
that they cannot prevent the installation of satellite dishes.....even
landlords and apartment complexes must reasonably accomodate them.

If you are buying or leasing a house and do not check the covenents and 
deeds before you sign or don't have a clause in the contract to negate it 
if there are antenna restrictions then you deserve what you get.

Just my opinion......
