[Elecraft] Federal Preemption

[Darwin, Keith]

But is it OK to have the car in the driveway and not in the garage?

Another approach is to have a vertical on a tilt-over base.  Raise it at
sunset, stow it when you're done.  Nobody sees it during the day.

Or just run portable / temporary from your back yard.  Set up some
antenna, use it, take it down when you're done.  A moving target is
tough to hit.

I had a friend in Albuquerque who was in a place with strict CCRs.  He
had a 30' tower with a full size 3 element tribander.  Said he got
permission for it in writing as a condition on purchase of the house.

I think the real key here is to just not move into a place with antenna
restrictions in the first place. Or to get your written waiver at the
time of purchase.  Easier said than done in some places though.

But, Phil,
The homeowners association SURELY could not prevent you from using the
mobile bug catcher on your car to be the antenna of your home station?

I have actually heard of a ham who runs a coax out under his garage door
when he wants to operate.
