ignorance, judgment, neighbors

If you choose to stay there, I recommend that you take the tests and become an Amateur Radio Operator. Then, VERY carefully read the FCC rules regarding installing antennas, and put up a couple of nice big antennas on your property that are in complete compliance with ALL FCC rules
Oh, and make sure your station RF output is in complete compliance with said rules, as well.
Then let the busybodies complain!

While I can appreciate the sentiment regarding amateur radio, again this is a wrong answer. Municipal, county, and state laws must meet a "reasonable accommodation" test per the FCC. Private contracts, which are what restrictive covenants are, are NOT subject to the reasonable accommodation test. There does not have to be an HOA to enforce a deed restriction that says "no amateur radio antennas". Been there, done that with a property I tried to buy in Tennessee. No HOA, but the developer had that clause put in the deed. No antennas permitted meant just that. The FCC has made it clear that they will not insert themselves into private contract disputes.
