Greetings all, here is something we can all help with!

Many hams across the country live in new development which are governed by
CC&Rs. CC&Rs are Codes, Covenants, and Restrictions and they are killers
for ham radio. Most CC&Rs prohibit the installation of ham antennas and as
you all are aware, you can't operate HF without a good antenna. The FCC
determined that states, counties, and cities can't prohibit the erection of
antennas but did not carry their edict to cover CC&Rs, leaving that change
for guidance from the U.S. Congress. There is currently a bill in the House
of Representatives to allow a reasonable accommodation for a ham antenna
for someone who is governed by CC&Rs. We all know someone who is affected
by the restrictions but now we can do something to help. There is a
petition at change.org that requests that the House pass the bill and we
need every ham in the country to sign it. Please forward this link to all
your ham friends (or anyone else you think might sign it). You can sign the
petition.
