[Elecraft] HOA Crap

[jerry]

All,

   Just had to share this snippet from a recent letter I received from my 
HOA:

"Dear Homeowner:

   Your architectural plans, to install a vertical antenna for
Amateur Radio, approx 25 feet tall, mounted on existing pool solar 
heating array, on a hill behind the house.  Used for FAA-licensed 
amateur radio activities.  This antenna predates the formation of the 
HOA [...].   Your plans have been approved...."

    The secret?  The Board has the power to approve pretty much anything, 
regardless of the CC&Rs.  And I'm on the Board.  I'm also on the 
architecture commmittee.

   When I moved here in 2011, there was no HOA.  But it was in the deed.  
When the HOA was formed, I ran for the Board, got elected ( not much 
competition ), and made d*mn sure I was on the architecture committee.
