[LOGic] HAM GATHERING SIGNATURES ON PETITION TO VOID ANTENNA PROHIBITIONS

[Keith]

Friends

This is the wrong folks to petition.  A statute of this type must be enacted
by congress so that the FCC can enforce it.  Petitions for rulemaking and
their eventual passage are not as strong as the work of law.  Once a law is
passed like this, then the FCC can enforce it with the backing of the US
Government.

I am all for the reasonable consideration for amateur radio operators being
able to construct antenna's.  Not some arbitrary number that is
unscientifically chosen by the uninformed.

RADIO LAW: HAM GATHERING SIGNATURES ON PETITION TO VOID ANTENNA PROHIBITIONS

N4UM tells Newsline that he has begun a petition drive to the FCC. This, in
an attempt to get the regulatory agency to void antenna prohibitions by
developers and Home Owners Associations. 

As of this report the petition has garnered over 1000 signatures. N4UM says
that he is doing this now because the FCC is currently requesting formal
comments on emergency communications in amateur radio. The agency also wants
to know the effects of impediments to the amateur radio service as part of
the Docket GN 12-91 inquiry. 

Comments on this federal study close on May 17th. N4UM says that his
petition will also close on this same day. You can find his petition on-line
at tinyurl.com/antenna-rights (N4UM)


I don't know how much good this will do, but I can't see how it could hurt
any pending efforts. At minimum it will bring some more attention to the
subject by all concerned. In any case, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!
