[Qcwa] Devil's advocate

Not that I really want to get things fired up, but I'm curious about
something.
When you move into a house with an antenna restriction, and you're aware
of it (or should be) when you go through escrow, what part of "no outside
antennas" are you not understanding?
What I'm seeing is "But, *I* am special, those rules don't apply to me."
I know, PRB-1 but it doesn't really apply to a contract you sign. It applies
to cities and is supposed to pre-empt them from flat out outlawing antennas.
When you put up a stealth antenna with the attitude of "Well, nobody's
noticed
it yet" you're effectively thumbing your nose at everyone else that
abides by the
rules.
Technically, I like the idea of working with what you have available.
Such as
loading up the guard rails or fence. Or even the flagpole trick. But
then the
question is, what are you doing to protect others from getting shocked
and or
burned from an antenna within reach?
