FAQ
Depending on the band you're operating in, this question has many solutions. However, if you're looking for a quality amateur radio antenna - anything built by Diamond Antenna will be built very well and offer excellent performance.
The short answer is yes, but only if you're not transmitting. TV frequencies run in the VHF and UHF bands, but are not designed to operate specifically in the HAM bands. So while a TV antenna might be close to the frequencies you want to operate (like 2 meter or 70 centimeter), they aren't made for transmitting on those frequencies. Transmitting with a TV antenna can result in damage to your radio. To make matters worse, most TV antennas are going to use 75 ohm coax. Most HAM radios are designed for 50 ohm coax cable. In short, you can listen, but unless you change the cable and verify you have a low SWR reading, do not transmit with a TV antenna.
Part of the amateur radio hobby can involve building your own antenna system. Creating a functioning antenna requires some fundamental antenna theory and would be best if you've read up on how antenna systems function. For more information check out the ARRL website dedicated to building antennas
Most HOA's place limits on antennas installed on your property. You need to check with any local rules and regulations before installing an antenna system outside of your house. The FCC states that from the ground level, the top of a HAM radio antenna must not exceed 45 feet.
