[ARRL-OK] SB1126: Public safety; allowing creation of registry of individuals involved in severe weather tracking.

[Kim Elmore]

As a research meteorologist doing applied research, I can assure everyone that this is the dumbest, most wasteful  idea I have seen in a very, very long time. So long, in fact, that I’ve never run across one any more stupid. So it, in fact, the dumbest. 

73,
