NLI Meets with Congressman King regarding HR 607 - 70cm is SAFE!!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 19, 2011, Massapequa Park, NY - A delegation of Amateur Radio
operators from the Long Island / New York City area met this morning
with Congressman Peter T. King (R-NY) to discuss his recent proposed
legislation, HR 607, and its impact on Amateur Radio.

Congressman King said that he fully understands and appreciates the
importance of Amateur Radio and the service it provides to the
community, and that he would see to the modification of the bill so
that the 420 - 440 MHz band would be excluded from the spectrum to be
auctioned.

The delegation included Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, ARRL Section Manager for
New York City / Long Island (NLI), Peter Portanova, WB2OQQ, NLI Local
Government Liaison (LGL), George Tranos, N2GA, NLI State Government
Liaison (SGL), and Jim Mezey, W2KFV, NLI ARES Section Emergency
Coordinator (SEC).

"The Congressman went on to explain that it was never his intention to
remove the 70 centimeter band from Amateur use. He further asked us to
`get the word out' and inform the Amateur Radio community that 70
centimeters is not in jeopardy," said Lisenco.

Lisenco, Mezey and Tranos spoke about the importance of Amateur Radio
emergency communications while Portanova, who is also the local AMSAT
representative, addressed satellite and other amateur use of the 70
centimeter band.

The Congressman was very receptive to the group, who also extended an
invitation to attend Field Day locations in his District.
