   The most American amateur radio fun fact I've heard of: "Home Owner Association doesn't allow me to put an antenna on my house so I installed a US flag with an antenna inside the flag pole."

     @Sonikku@techhub.social @mos_8502@studio8502.ca Amateur radio antennas are not a customer-grade wireless service, and are not covered by this FCC rule (although there's a provision if you're a member in an emergency communication network).

     @niconiconi @mos_8502 Hmm, pretty sure the FCC trumps the HOAs.

     You DO NOT fuck with the FCC. I’d have filed a complaint with them against the HOA.
