[InHam] Indiana Hams - We need to act right now!

Tue, 18 Mar 2003 21:17:24 -0500

To ALL Indiana Hams:

IF EACH OF YOU DON'T TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TONIGHT, THEN SB 109 WILL
DIE IN COMMITTEE TOMORROW (March 19).

SB109 is regarding the limiting of Amateur Radio Antennas in Indiana.
All Indiana hams need to work toward getting this bill passed.

As of this morning, Rep. Brian Hasler, Democrat - Evansville, and
Chairman of the Indiana House Technology, Research, and Development
Committee
was planning to let SB 109 die in committee.  After talking to him for
an
hour and a half about some of the technical and emergency aspects of
ham
radio, he is now on the fence.  He plans to make his decision tomorrow
(Wed,
March 18).

EVERY ham, and ESPECIALLY EVANSVILLE HAMS AND HAMS IN THE DISTRICTS OF
THE REPRESENTATIVES BELOW need send email to the entire committee (if
they
haven't already done so) asking them to support SB 109 and giving them
reasons why they should.  Many of these Representatives have NOT YET
HEARD FROM ANYONE IN THEIR DISTRICT (make sure to include your address
so
they know you are in their district).
