We almost closed on a house. One of the conditions was no
restrictions or "associations" or anything like that. I want to put
up a tower for my radio hobby and I like to keep my trailer boats
close to my residence.

Better also check local ordinances about that tower.
But maybe you did.

Local ordinaces are superceded by Federal guidelines regarding towers.

As long as I stay within the Federal guidelines, I'm fine.



That's what I thought. I suppose it depends on what part of the country you
live in, but here in the People's Republic of Duxbury, local ordinances
supersede Federal guidelines as long as the local ordinances are equal to or
exceed (more restrictive) those of the Fed.

You are allowed to purchase your property, pay the taxes and the upkeep, but
the town determines what you can do and not do with it for the most part.

Here's how you get yourself in deep doo-doo signing these covenants.

The FCC has an established policy of limited preemption of state and
local regulations governing amateur station facilities..... protection
from local laws that attempt to preempt Federal Statutes.

However, when you sign a CC&R you have *agreed* to be limited by these
covenants and the FCC isn't going to protect you from yourself.
