[K3CAL] Maryland House Bill 331 - Amateur Radio Antenna Structures

[Shawn Donley]

All,

Last year a bill was passed unanimously by the Maryland House that would basically make the Federal PRB-1 a part of the Maryland Code.  Unfortunately, it never made it to the Maryland Senate before the the legislative session ended.

The bill has been reintroduced in the 2022 session.  It would help if you can phone or email your Maryland house delegate to convey your support of the bill.  It's likely to be even more important to contact your Maryland Senator when the bill moves to that chamber.

Most amateurs focus their support on amateur radio's role in emergency communications but I would also suggest emphasizing the STEM aspects of the hobby.

Note:  This bill does not address or negate CC&Rs that convey with deeded property or HOA's.  That's another challenge for another day.
