Keith, et al,
Indeed, this bill is a disaster and will certainly lead to the demise of
amateur radio.Do indeed see the article on Page 3 of the October BVARC
Newsletter (on the BVARC website).
The ARRL started what was to be a good thing, but then capitulated to the HOAs
on EVERY point and makes it impossible to get approval while exposing ourselves
to the fact that we have unapproved antennas up, which will then makes anyone
with such an antenna guilty of federal crime, when this bill inevitably becomes
a federal law.
The ARRL doesn't have the balls to "man up" and admit that they screwed up.
On to fly fishing.

I am sure many of you have seen this email from ARRL. I would like to hear
comments from others on their thoughts on this bill.
If I understand the bill correctly it still gives HOAs final say to antenna
installation. I don't like that personally. It also requires you to notify the
HOA if you already have antennas up and get approval from the HOA in order to
keep them.

Dear ARRL member, I am writing to you today because we are at a crossroad in
our efforts to obtain passage of The Amateur Radio Parity Act. Our legislative
efforts scored a major victory in our campaign when The Amateur Radio Parity
Act, S. 1534 now moves to the Senate, where we need every Senator to approve
the bill. This is the companion Bill to H.R. 555, which passed in the House of
Representativesin January. You are one of over 730,000 licensed Amateur Radio
Operators living in the United States. Many of you already live in
deed-restricted communities, and that number grows daily. NOW IS THE TIME FOR
ALL HAMS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS! • If you want to have effective
outdoor antennas but are not currently allowed to do so by your Home Owner’s
Association, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!! • If you already have outdoor
antennas, but want to support your fellow hams, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!! •
If you want to preserve your ability to install effective outdoor antennas on
property that you own, SEND THESE EMAILS TODAY!! We need you to reach out to
your Senators TODAY! Right away. Help us in the effort. Please go to this
linked website and follow the prompts:
