[Elecraft] RX noise and 2-wire lines

Likewise when we lived in a condo in Pompano Beach, FL.  I had a 75M 
loop around the parapet wall on the roof.   And I managed to get on the 
board and got permission.   After all one of the starch objectors wanted 
something for him self.  Thus a "quid pro quo" was arranged.   Funny how 
that works.

I also have a friend that has obtained all the permits to install a 
tower and large antenna on his property in a highly restricted HOA in 
Boca Raton FL.    It took him 3 years and a few dollars to get all in 
order but it was signed off and is presently in place.

It can be done.   Of course it must be done correctly and with proper 
documentation and approvals.

Where we live now we have 5 acres but the HOA restrictions are much 
tighter.   a.k.a. - Rules of the wife must be followed.

Eventually I was able to get our very strict guidelines changed to allow "reasonable" outside antennas for licensed amateurs.  And so far, no complaints on my setup.

I read these things, look wistfully out back into my 30’x30’ townhouse courtyard, and wonder if I can dare put my Buddipole 40M dipole up one more foot without attracting the ire of some resident who will report my illicit activity to the HOA.  That’s about as big as my antenna projects can get 🤣🤣
