Section Summary, April 2009

The text of a new U.S. House of Representatives Bill, HR 2160, is to be 
found
at: http://www.arrl.org/govrelations/HR2160.pdf 
<http://www.arrl.org/govrelations/HR2160.pdf> . This bill, introduced by
Texas Rep. Ms. Jackson-Lee, and co-sponsored by other members from disaster
prone districts, could end up giving us the data we need to fight
unreasonable antenna support structure limitations imposed by land use
agents, private and public. In itself, it requires the Department of 
Homeland
Security to conduct a study of unnecessary or unreasonable impediments 
to the
'deployment of Amateur Radio emergency and disaster relief communications'.
The strong wording of the bill reflects the positive impression made by ham
radio EMCOMM operations in Texas witnessed by Ms. Jackson-Lee. While we
should not rely completely on the bill to do everything for us, it may at
some time be the impetus for the end of unreasonable antenna restrictions.
After you read the text of the bill, request your congressman to co-sponsor
this important piece of legislation.
