[Elecraft] HAM GATHERING SIGNATURES ON PETITION

[Ray Sills]

Hi Joe:

My HOA had to add an addendum to it's rules to accommodate the use of  
a dish up to 1 meter in diameter, per the FCC ruling.  Prior to that,  
the rules only "permitted" a dish up to 18" in diameter.  Federal law  
will always pre-empt state or local laws, including CC&Rs.
