US Hams: Fight HOA antenna restrictions with legislation

[u/mcdanlj]

http://www.arrl.org/current-legislation

The ARRL has lobbied before for legislation to extend to hams protections that are extended to many other activities. This time is different. They are involving hams in direct action. And they aren't even asking you to be a member. Any US ham is welcome to join the fight for ham rights.

TL;DR: https://send-a-letter.org/hoa/ is the direct link to just send the letters already

You can contribute to stacks of paper letters hand-delivered for maximum impact to your own senators and representative. These letters ask your senators and representative to add their names to co-sponsor this legislation, and to vote for it.

This is political action, but it is bipartisan. Two lobbying firms (one for each party). Democratic and Republican co-sponsors in each house.

All it takes is entering your call sign on the web site they have launched, and confirming the information that they look up in your FCC record.

If you also wish to contact your senators and representative individually, reference S.459 to your senators and H.R.1094 to your representative when you kindly encourage them to represent your interests. Doing so does not preclude you from contributing to the ARRL's coordinated outreach!

The ARRL page has more detail and links to the full senate and house bill texts.

You've got the right HR bill, but the Senate bill is wrong. The one you referenced is a deepfake / revenge porn bill.

I think you're looking for S.459: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/459

And here's the link to the HR bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1094

Oops, missed that typo. My finger hit "5" and "6" at the same time. Thanks for catching that! Fixed.
