I've been lurking the list for a week or so. I'm an audiophile

But Andy if you call it a CH 6 antenna, which it will be, no local

or state

rule can stop you.

this is an FCC ruling, and I don't even live in the same

hemisphere as you!

This ignores the fact that it may still cost you a small fortune in
legal fees, and incur the wrath of many of your neighbors. Also what
if there isn't a channel 6 station in the area?

Hmm, if the FCC rules are on your side you should be able to recover
your legal expenses in defending your rights and this argument may
deter the HOA or local authorities from trying to take action against
you.... maybe?

WRT Ch 6, the rule mentions a 1 meter diameter limit which is pretty
small. Ch 6 elements would exceed 1 meter and for a boom length, 1
meter is pretty short for DXing.
