If you're an radio amateur, please sign. If you have probs with an HOA, a workaround: FCC's OTARD rules prevent HOAs from restricting TV, Radio or Internet antennas, even if it's on a tower -- as long as it's fixed to your home and not higher than 12' above roof. Just put a TV antenna on top!

In an increasingly interconnected world, our reliance on commercial communication networks is undeniable. However, when disasters strike, these very systems are often the first to fail... This is where the Packet Radio RF Forwarding Network (TPRFN) steps in.
