By now many of you have read the ARRL news regarding the issuance by the FCC of a Notice of Apparent Liability to Daniel Delise of Astoria, N.Y. The fine, in the amount of $23,000, was for unlicensed operation on Amateur frequencies as well as illegal broadcasting on NYPD frequencies. Although the article is right on spot, there are some things I?d like to bring out and people that should be recognized. First, it was the direct assistance of Congressman Peter King (R NY-2) who responded to my request for help. By giving us his support, he got the issue that had been plaguing us for a decade to the attention of FCC Chairman Wheeler. His letter got us off the backburner and up to the front of the line. Second, it was the direct involvement of David C. Dombrowski, Regional Director of the FCC Region One Enforcement Bureau and his willingness to work with us and to use information we provided as potential leads as he developed his own investigation. Third, it was the development of a system of grass-roots reporting that depicted the current pattern of intentional interference with legitimate Amateur communications on local repeaters. The collection of data through the facilities of the Hudson Division, which was forwarded to the authorities, was coordinated by Richie Cetron K2KNB in his joint roles of both an Official Observer as well as Assistant Director. Finally, we received assistance from FCC Special Counsel Laura Smith who has been a great help in keeping us informed and in the loop. I want to thank all of you who helped me in this effort. When we work together as a group, it?s amazing what we can accomplish. (Of course, a little luck doesn?t hurt either.)

"The bill is passed without objection." With those words, Amateur Radio history was made on September 12, when the US House of Representatives approved the Amateur Radio Parity Act, H.R. 1301 on a voice vote under a suspension of the rules. The focus of the campaign to enact the legislation into law now shifts to the US Senate. The House victory culminated many years of effort on ARRL's part to gain legislation that would enable radio amateurs living in deed-restricted communities to erect antennas that support Amateur Radio communication. The measure calls on the FCC to amend its Part 97 rules "to prohibit the application to amateur stations of certain private land-use restrictions, and for other purposes." While similar bills in past years gained some traction on Capitol Hill, it was not until the overwhelming grassroots support from the Amateur Radio community for H.R. 1301 shepherded by ARRL that a bill made it this far. The legislation faces significant obstacles to passage in the US Senate, however. "This is huge step in our effort to enact legislation that will allow radio amateurs who live in deed-restricted communities the ability to construct an effective outdoor antenna," ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, said. "Thanks to everyone for their help in this effort thus far. Now we must turn our full attention to getting the bill passed in the Senate." ARRL Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, who chairs the ARRL Board's Legislative Advocacy Committee, has been heavily involved in efforts to move H.R. 1301 forward. "This has been a multiyear effort that is finally seeing some light," he said. "The passage of the bill in the House is a major accomplishment, due to the hard work of so many - from the rank-and-file member to the officers and directors." Lisenco said it's not a time to rest on our laurels. "We are only halfway there. The focus now shifts to our effort in the Senate," he said. "We are beginning a massive e-mail campaign in which we need every member to write their two Senators using our simplified process. You will be hearing from President Roderick and from your Directors, asking you to go to our 'Rally Congress' page. Using your ZIP code, e-mails will be generated much like our recent letter campaign. You'll fill in your name and address and press Enter. The e-mails will be sent directly to your Senators without you having to search through their websites." The "Rally Congress" web page can be found at, https://arrl.rallycongress.net/ctas/urge-senate-to-support-amateur-radio-par ity-act . Lisenco said getting these e-mails to members' Senators is a critical part of the process. "Those numbers matter! Please help us help you by participating in this effort," he said. As the amended bill provides, "Community associations should fairly administer private land-use regulations in the interest of their communities, while nevertheless permitting the installation and maintenance of effective outdoor Amateur Radio antennas. There exist antenna designs and installations that can be consistent with the aesthetics and physical characteristics of land and structures in community associations while accommodating communications in the Amateur Radio services." During this week's limited debate, the House bill's sponsor, Rep Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), thanked ARRL and the Community Associations Institute (CAI) for reaching an agreement to move the bill forward "in a bipartisan and very positive manner." He pointed out to his colleagues that Amateur Radio antennas are prohibited outright in some areas. "For some this is merely a nuisance," Kinzinger said, "but for others - those that use their Amateur Radio license for life-saving emergency communications - a dangerous situation can be created by limiting their ability to establish effective communication for those in need." Kinzinger said that in emergencies, hams can provide "a vital and life-saving function" when conventional communication systems are down. He also praised the Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS), a US Department of Defense-sponsored program, comprised largely of Amateur Radio volunteers, that also supports communication during emergencies and disasters. Cosponsor US Rep Joe Courtney (D-CT) also urged the bill's passage. "This is not just a feel-good bill," Courtney said, recounting how Hurricane Sandy brought down the power grid, and "we saw all the advanced communications we take for granted...completely fall by the wayside." Ham radio volunteers provided real-time communication in the storm's wake, he said, saying the legislation was a way "to rebalance things" for radio amateurs who choose to live in deed-restricted neighborhoods by enabling them to install "non-intrusive antennas." Courtney noted that he spoke recently with FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, and said that Wheeler "strongly supports this legislation." Leading up to the vote, Rep Paul Tonko (D-NY) also spoke in support of the legislation, calling it a commonsense approach that would build "fairness into the equation for Amateur Radio operators" in dealing with homeowners associations. The earlier U.S. Senate version of the Amateur Radio Parity Act, S. 1685, no longer is in play, and the Senate is expected to vote by unanimous consent on the version of H.R. 1301 that was adopted by the House on September 12.

I am currently taking an inventory, and will be posting Items in the near future. There is a 35' Heights Aluminum tower. On top is a Mosley Classic 3-element beam. There are several other VHF and UHF verticals, along with a VHF and UHF yagi. If anyone is interested in the tower and antennas, you must be able to take it down too! Please e-mail me if there is any interest. If you would like to see the tower, just use Google Earth / Street view and go to: 6 duclos lane, highland park. It is a blue ranch house on the corner.

They would be delighted if they could get 6+ ham radio operators to help out with communications for their event. Our folks should be prepared to arrive around* 7:30 AM*. The race ends around *11:30 AM*. I met Aubrey's father at GriefShare -- she was a much-beloved teacher in the area who died (along with her unborn child) in a tragic car wreck in South Brunswick on October 8, 2014. For more information on the foundation, please see: http://www. theaubreyfoundation.org/ Unfortunately, I will not be in NJ for this event, as I will be traveling out west for the next 4 weeks. So, I am asking for someone to step up and volunteer to lead a small team of hams in support of this worthwhile charity. *Please respond to **K2PAT at ARRL.NET**! 908-450-7306 <908-450-7306>.* *Who would like to be that leader? *If you're not willing to manage the operation, would you be willing to volunteer to help out by coming to North Brunswick on Oct. 9 and bringing your HT with you for a few hours?!
