 Mo> Still, I haven't really gone any higher that 10 feet above my roof,

We've got rules thought up by morons who just enjoy spoiling people's fun.

If your antenna/mast is mounted to a structure it can be no higher than 1.4m above the highest point of the roofline and the antenna can be no more than 1m diameter with the pole in the center - so if you have a 600mm antenna that's mounted at the rear like a 2m yagi that would be 1.2m so no go.

If you want a mast buried in the ground it can be no closer than 1.8m from a structure or a fenceline. So we have a smallish yard that's about 3.5m square so any mast I put up will be closer than 1.8 so that's a no go.

Also the end of the antenna can be no closer than 1.8m from a boundry also.

You're ok if you own 20 acres but if you're in a suburban yard it gets pretty hard to put up anything that isn't a vertical or a small cobweb on it's side.

I didn't have the energy or money to combat the council so I just gave up :(
