[BVARC] antenna outside my window (HOA discussion portion)

Thank you for your input. All good things to know!

I've researched the POA documents and find that the West Belfort POA 
does not forbid antennas, they just require that they be "approved". My 
next door neighbor has a Disk TV antenna. I will canvas the neighborhood 
and note all of the antennas I see that are already up. This will be 
useful later.

I don't think I'll have a huge problem with the POA if I approach them 
and the subject in the most advantageous way.
I will just want to put up a J Pole (or 2).
I need to get to know the head of the Architectural Committee soon. <g>  
(the Board meets next Tuesday, I will attend)

The temp antenna outside of my window will not be up and seen all of the 
time. Once I see if it will work and do what I need, I'll design an 
installation the Architectural Committee will approve of.   ... and 
Bob's your uncle! <g>

Hiding it is plan 2. (I could put it in the back yard and only raise it 
when I need to use it) The HOA does not come around very often.
