> Permission: > If you are setting up a base station, your landlord or HOA may have restrictions on the antenna size. There are no permissions or license required in the U.S. from the FCC assuming you are using unmodified CB radios. Keep the antenna and coax cable away from other equipment if you can, to avoid interference that results in neighbors complaining about you. You probably only need to ask permission if you actually entered into a restrictive covenant or other contractual agreement to not place an antenna. PRB-1[1] doesn't preempt such covenants, but the landlord or HoA can't just arbitrarily restrict you without your agreement. My anecdotal experience is that HoAs are usually pretty aggressive about including such restrictions, but I've never personally seen a lease that says you can't have a CB antenna. I have seen restrictions on satellite dishes, which is funny because those actually aren't enforceable[2] (unless the landlord/HoA provides a dish for you to use). I really hope someone somewhere has responded to being told to take down his flag pole by mounting a TV receiver at the top of the mast.
