CC&Rs have been around for a very long time, actually. It's only been
relatively recently that the outside antenna restrictions have found their way
into CC&Rs.
Mine are from the early 1970s. They make for some interesting reading (mostly
in terms of what's not in them, rather than what is). Needless to say, they
are completely silent on the subject of antennas of any sort.
