Commercial concerns all ready have a foot hold into the 70cm Hm band.  Who fell 
a sleep at the helm again?

 A new bill, "Broadband for First Responders Act of 2011" in the U.S.House of 
Representatives (HR 607) includes provisions to auction off a portion of the 
70cm band allocated to amateur radio. The ARRL is asking hams to contact their 
representatives and ask them to oppose this bill.  More information on the bill 
and how to communicate with your representative can be found at:

There is also a sample letter and information on how to identify your 
representative on the website.  http://www.arrl.org/sample-letters 


Isn't this putting this cart in front of the hoarse?

Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith.  Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
