Pass The Bill, The ARRL Grassroots Campaign
Pass The Bill, The ARRL Grassroots Campaign
The ARRL has launched a grassroots campaign to pass the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act. This legislation would grant Hams who live in HOA or other deed restricted properties the same rights to install antennas on their properties enjoyed by users of television antennas, wireless internet, and flagpoles. The ARRL has made it simple to send letters to your congressmen with a form on their website. You do not have to be a member of the ARRL to use this form.
