[EManley - Coxnet]

In reference to:
All Amateur Radio operators
Pursuant to SB QST ARL ARLB011
ARLB011 ARRL Executive Committee Issues Mobile Amateur Radio
Operation Policy Statement

We reviewed several Oklahoma bill filings about 2 weeks ago and will keep up 
with all of them to be sure our findings remain intact.  We all agree with 
the ARRL's request and if any changes might occur, we will ask for your help 
to reverse any challenge to the utilization of our mobiles

SB1270 by Constance Johnson prohibits the use of 'cell phones' in a motor 
vehicle.  It specifically excludes amateur radio from this prohibition
HB 1455 by McAffrey is the same bill filed in the House
HB 1782 by Tibbs looks to be same as above.

Feel free to get on the Oklahoma Legislative Web Site at 
<http://www.lsb.state.ok.us/> and read these bills, or any other bill.  If 
you find anything of concern, please let us know.

Eddie - 73 you guys
