We are not in the US. :)  So the FCC does not have jurisdiction.

I think the community by-laws prohibit the installation of individual 
satellite dishes on balcony or anywhere on the outside of the unit.  If 
I recall correctly, agreeing to obey the bylaws is a condition of 
ownership at the property (and there might even be a caveat on the title).
