ARRL Launches Lobbying Drive for Passage of Parity Act
ARRL President Rick
Roderick, K5UR, is urging all League members to contact their U.S. Senators, encouraging them to
support S. 1534, the Senate version of the Amateur Radio Parity Act, which already
passed the House as H.R. 555. The bill is intended to loosen restrictions on
amateur radio antennas in deed-restricted and/or homeowner
association-controlled developments.
[Not
everyone feels this bill is a good deal for hams - see N3JT's "Food for
Thought: Why H.R. 555 is Not Good (Enough) for Hams" in our August issue.
