For you OLD TIME net users, you may remember HOSPEX (Hospitality Exchange
(http://www.hospex.org/)) for academics and students.  The thought of
registering to host similar lifestyles ventured out to now where it is
inclusive of Amateur Radio Operators.

Thilo Kootz has begun the International Travel Host Exchange just for
Radio Amateurs.  The information is in the attachment.  Most lists
restrict attachments.  Therefore, I will offer that, if you want to join,
I will email you the files directly.  Alternatively, I would encourage
your response to Mr. Kootz directly.  His contact information is:

SAMPLE LETTER TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS

LETTERHEAD WITH YOUR ADDRESS

Rep. _______________

United States House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Rep. _____________

I urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 4720, the "Amateur Radio Emergency
Communications Consistency Act," sponsored by Rep. Steve Israel. The bill
would alleviate a problem facing many federally licensed Amateur Radio
operators living within development communities who are subject to
unreasonable restrictions or outright prohibitions regarding the
installation of external antennas.

Under current law, the FCC applies a policy that instructs states and
localities that they must reasonably accommodate Amateur Radio antenna. The
policy, however, fails to address situations affecting private land-use
groups. Rep. Israel's bill would ensure consistent application of these
regulations.

This legislation seeks to insure that Amateur Radio operators are available
for emergency communications in all sections of the country, regardless of
whether they live in a development, such as a retirement community, or
townhouse subdivision. Restrictions against antennas render Amateur Radio
operators unable to utilize their licenses, which in turn may ultimately
hinder their emergency communication role during times of disaster or
national crisis.

Amateur radio provides a vital public safety communications service to the
public at no cost to taxpayers. I hope you will join Rep. Israel in
co-sponsoring his bill.

I look forward to hearing from you as you consider this important
legislation.

Sincerely,

I have reserved W5P for April, 2003.  The callsign can be used as a
special event station for the Pryor Tornado.  This tornado, the fifth
deadliest in State history, will have its 51st anniversary on 27 April.

I am proposing setting up an amateur radio station at the park on the
afternoon for six hours.  Stations contacted could be eligible for a
certificate.  

Goal: The goals of this event is to (1) promote amateur radio positively
to the general public, (2) provide information regarding amateur radio,
weather preparedness, and emergency management to the general public, (3)
facilitate international goodwill.
Anyone interested in this idea?

We would need someone to design the certificate.  It would be nice to
have someone manage the equipment (setup/take down).  I can handle
publicity.  

Thoughts?

I need some help since at the present time I do not have time to try and 
dig up this information.

It has come to my attention that a number of Police Officers in Muskogee OK 
and the surrounding area  are purchasing ICOM 2 meter radios and then 
having an individual modify them for operation on Public Safety frequencies.

These officers have City supplied Motorola UHF radios for use in the jobs 
thay choose to purchase the Ham radios so that they can operate on VHF 
frequencies, many of which the City does not hold a license for our use of 
those frequencies.

When I informed the Police Chief of the situation....after a citizen 
complained to me, his comment was "Show me in the Rules where it is Illegal".

This problem not only effects the City of Muskogee but also the counties 
surrounding Muskogee County.

Can someone give me a quick pointer where I can find the information I need.

Joe
