Amateur Radio Operators:

Bipartisan bills that have been introduced in the United States Congress — H.R.1094 in the House and S.459 in the Senate — are designed to prevent restrictive homeowners’ association (HOA) rules that currently prohibit or severely limit the installation of amateur radio antennas, even when such antennas are hidden in trees, placed in attics, mounted on vehicles, or look like flagpoles.

The ARRL has launched a grassroots campaign of support for these bills.  To make it easy for amateurs to let their congressional representative know about their support the ARRL has provided a method to generate support letters to your representatives by going to the ARRL page and entering your call sign in a form.  The form will generate your address information and compose letters to YOUR representatives and then send them.

You can find this information by clicking here.  There is complete information and you can read the text of the letter before doing anything.  You do NOT have to be a member of the ARRL to participate. If you want you can print or copy the letter and modify it to express more personal support.

Please consider doing this, the bill is important.  HOA regulations have severely restricted the ability of many amateur radio operators to participate in our operations, including support for emergency preparedness and government support.

Thank you.
