In effect since October of 1996, FCC regulations establish that you have a = right to install a video antenna on your property, regardless of whether th= e property is owned or rented, and it specifically prohibits restrictions f= rom an HOA, landlord or property manager that would: (1) unreasonably delay= or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the= cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an = acceptable quality signal.

Optimal TV reception is achieved outside but many of you have= no choice but to use an indoor TV antenna due to living in an apartment co= mplex or lack of resources to setup an outdoor antenna.

RW: Are there visuals you can suggest to illustrate this topic? Warner: I prepared a couple of maps (Figs. 1 and 2) showing a translator ap= plication in a problem setting. Contours show that the translator 40 dBu in= terference contour is well clear of the full-power station 60 dBu service c= ontour, but a Longley-Rice propagation showing reveals that there is 60 dBu= signal around and beyond the translator site. The second map shows signal = ratios. The area where interference is predicted, that is, the signals are = within 20 dB of each other, is very large. The area where the translator wo= uld have a predicted clean signal is small and spotty. The allocation meets= FCC requirements, but would cause significant interference to the full-pow= er station, while having a very small clean service area. (Some car radios = can survive ratios lower than 20 dB, but that does not get around the full-= power station service area near the translator site. The full-power station= has reported listening in the ZIP code where the translator is proposed.) eebf2c3492
