[HIham] [koolau-arc] Form letter for Amateur Radio exemption for Honolulu Cell Phone Bill available at the Geek Meet, Sunday 10:00am - 2:00 pm

[Dennis Egge]

Those of us who testified in the beginning were assured by a staffer that 
amateur radio operators would "be taken care of", so now we are asking for 
an exemption?  I testified that we were licensed by the FCC to operate our 
mobile equipment safely; I know, I'm being cynical.
So, the way read in CD3, who will be authorized to pick up a microphone and 
talk into it while operating a motor vehicle in Hawaii?  It would seem, 
practically no-one.  Maybe we just need our licenses and a training course 
the government would be required to offer HPD and HFD employees, for 
example?
