    We have two bills pending in congress that need many more co-sponsors to succeed.

    Both bills are essential to the future of ham radio. One bill would prohibit community associations from flatly banning antennas - they would have to reasonably accomodate them, as municipalities have been required to since 1985. If this isn't enacted, the pool of potential new hams will steadily shrink as new communities continue to ban antennas. The other bill would require the FCC to replace any spectrum they take away or diminish in usefulness. This is important because they have taken more than 100mHz already.

    There's a new grassroots lobbying kit at this URL:

    Tnx, N3IJ
