[TNham] Questionable bills being introduced.

[Ed]

Here is the reply I got from Rick Lindquist N1RL, Senior News editor of =
the ARRL when I e-mailed him about the proposed bills.=20


 " Regarding the pending legislation in TN: These measures are not aimed =
at Amateur Radio operations but at stemming commerce in devices that =
might be used to provide illegal or unauthorized access or interception =
of traffice on a communications service, such as an ISP, satellite TV, =
cable TV, cellular system or other "communications service provider." =
Some of the bills' provisions--possibly most of them--already are =
prohibited by federal statutes.=20

Additionally, no state can claim jurisdiction over Amateur Radio =
emissions. I've made our general counsel aware of these bills."
