@DAN9871 You are correct. What all of them I looked at state: "Aerials, satellite reception dishes, and ANTENNAS OF ANY KIND are prohibited within the subdivision to the extent allowed by law" (yes, I am fully aware of the federal regulations regarding TV reception antennas and AMATEUR/HAM RADIO ANTENNAS which directly affected me up north). "The location OF ANY APPROVED DEVICE will be previously approved by the developer in writing."

This can be taken a couple ways regarding satellite dishes:
#1) Satellite dishes are OK but the location must be first "approved by the developer."
#2) Satellite dishes are OK so just stick 'em up

With regard to MY SPECIFIC INQUIRY (a personal weather station) only ANTENNAS seem to be excluded and I don't think they can consider it an antenna and since it is NOT EXCLUDED it should be OK. No?

By the way, this language quoted above was in the "basic part" of the deed restriction form on every one I looked at, including mine, in random districts but of course I didn't check them all.
