Dear Rep. ____________


As one of the nation's more than 670,000 federally licensed radio amateurs,
I urge you to co-sponsor HR 713, the "Amateur Radio Spectrum Protection Act
of 2003," sponsored by Rep. Michael Bilirakis (R-FL).

This bill is a nonpartisan, non-controversial measure designed to help
protect the radio frequencies used by Amateur Radio volunteers throughout
our nation in providing emergency communications assistance during times of
disaster. Most recently, radio amateurs have aided government and private
relief agencies after the terrorist attacks of September 2001 and during the
severe forest fires which engulfed many parts of the Western United States
last summer.

Your co-sponsorship of HR 713 will help ensure that Amateur Radio operators
have access to the needed spectrum, essential to their public service role.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

<YOUR NAME, CALLSIGN>
