>Fellow hams,

>I suggest you take a minute, if you haven't already, to review the latest 
>FCC enforcement letters on the ARRL web page.  There's a bucket load of 
>utility company letters similar to ours in December 2001.  The closest I 
>saw was a case just up the road in Columbus, Ohio.  The most recent 
>letters are being worded a bit differently but the same message is still 
>there.  The utility companies HAVE to fix THEIR problems when they are 
>causing interference to a licensed service.
>
>Congratulations to the FCC, Riley Hollingsworth, ARRL and Ed Hare and his 
>staff for hanging in there for the looooonnnngggg haul.
>
>WOW!  We, locally, may not have been the absolute first in line but I 
>think we added a lot of snow to the downhill snowball....and it is still 
>rolling.

>Please send your written comments to the FCC about this potential 
>monumental problem. Send your financial, moral and morale support to the 
>ARRL.  If you aren't already a member please also consider joining.  The 
>cost of a life membership is not cheap but it is a drop in the ocean 
>compared to a lifetime of benefits received from amateur radio.
>
>Please resend this note to any other ham friends to help spread the word 
>about this proposed utility company "service".
