> All amateurs are urgently requested to write letters
to their US

cosponsor HR 462, the
> current bill in the US House of Representatives that
would protect Amateur
> Radio from interference from unlicensed devices --
e.g. various Part 15
> devices and BPL. The bill is in Committee and your
letter will help move it

> Your letter and the letters of thousands of other
amateurs will be the first

Subsequent actions

Action Program, but we
> first need to get as many sponsors while it is in
Committee as possible.
> The more letters each Representative receives, the
better.
