[Elecraft] HAM GATHERING SIGNATURES ??!!! - ARRL Method

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

This is a VALID way of responding and is likely our ONLY chance.  If you 
don't care about your hobby, don't do a thing.

This has been in process by the ARRL for 3 years and the FCC said they would 
not address the "private contract" (CC&Rs) SO, the ARRL went to congress and 
THEY TOLD THE FCC to gather information about the impediments to amateur 
radio communications and emergency communications in particular by the home 
owners restrictions (CC&Rs).

We have never had a chance like this and will not likely have one again in 
our lifetime to supply them with what they are being forced to "study" (and 
WITH the help and assistance of the ARRL).

I do not think much of this "petition" having any effect at all except to 
make people think they did something and prevent them from doing what we 
have been requested to do by the ARRL.

Go to www. arrl.org
 - click on Regulatory and Advocacy

- PLEASE respond.
- The deadline is April 25 for getting your information to the ARRL.

There is a form you can fill out online and there is an email for you to 
attach your CC&Rs and an explanation of your radio installation as well as 
how well/poorly it functions and what you were prevented from installing. 
url is www.arrl.org/ccr-regulations and the email is CCRINFO at arrl.org .

This is a VALID way of responding and is likely our ONLY chance.  If you 
don't care about your hobby, don't do a thing.
