According to many sources from my own research on this subject, many HOAs have these rules on their books, but they were rendered invalid and unenforceable for the most part by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, or subsequent additions to it. The burden, both of proof and of cost, is on the HOA, and it's a battle they won't win.
It's a first amendment thing, which is serious business. If it were me, I'd put the antenna up. If they gave me some stick about it, then I'd inform them politely what the law says, and hand them the fact sheet. If they sent me something formally, I'd send them the required documentation via registered mail and let the games begin, but in the mean time, the antenna stays, as the FCC says it should while that is going on. But I'm just like that.
