Tom Agoston forwarded this to me and I thought I should forward it to the
rest of the club.

A few days ago I wrote about HR 607 and the threat it seemed to pose to our
440 band.  Well, the threat is very real.

*I need every PIO, club and ham we can get to write to their congressional
representative in opposition to the bill as it is written.*

Because of their security measures, it will NOT do any good to mail them
direct.
You can send an email, but PLEASE fill in the sections of the attached
letter for your own representative and then send it to Chwat & Co who will
HAND DELIVER it – making sure your letter gets noticed!   *

This is an “all hands on deck”  and we’re going to need all the people we
can get PDQ or we lose 440.
