House Bill 158 (aka “PRB-1 for Ohio”), the legislation that will
codify federal restrictions on local zoning of amateur station antenna
structures, passed the Senate’s State and Local Government and
Veterans Affairs Committee yesterday, after the 6th hearing for this
Bill.

The Bill is now given a green light to proceed to the Ohio Senate Floor
for a full vote of the Senate. The Ohio Senate is not expected to
convene for any voting for the next three weeks.

This is the furthest we have ever moved such legislation through the
State House. I would like to thank Nick Pittner, K8NAP, State
Government Liaison, and his team for their time and support in seeing
this legislation progress through its stages.

  As the time draws closer to the Senate meeting for vote, we will let
all the Amateur Radio Operators in Ohio know how to contact their State
Senator to ask for their support when the vote is called.

73,

Frank Piper, KI8GW
