GG. Not sure who “They” are, but they are wrong. It’s not what they say you can do but what the US Government says you can do with the placement of satellite dishes and over the air antennas for broadcast reception. And the reason the law was enacted is that the frequencies that these specific dishes and antennas receive are part of the National Alert System (formerly the Emergency Broadcast System) and would be used in a state of National emergency. That’s also the reason why the law doesn’t apply to other types of antennas such as HAM or CB antennas.
There’s no question that your roof is last place that The Villages wants you to put an antenna, and I certainly agree with that. But if your roof is the only place on your property that the antenna can receive an acceptable quality signal, then the government’s response to any action to prohibit you would be as Glinda, the Good Witch of the North said when threatened by the Wicked Witch of the West: "Oh, rubbish. You have no power here.”
