[ILHam] Chicago hams, take note!!!

[Brad Pioveson W9FX]

This was in my mailbox this morning and came to me by way of a very 
concerned Chicago-land ham.  Amateur radio groups, clubs, 
ARES/RACES/EMCOMM/SATERN groups, ham attorneys, EMA folks, and individuals 
will, hopefully, make a concerted effort to attend this hearing, PRB-1 in 
hand!
