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.   IZO From: Rick Hiller via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Rick Hiller <wn3...@gmail.com>; ke5ith <ke...@ke5ith.com> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2017 5:21 AM Subject: Re: [BVARC] Fwd: ARRL Request to Contact Your US Senators Supporting S 1534 - the Amateur Radio Parity Act   Keith, Look at the BVARC newsletter October 2016.  Article by Pete KD5QPX.  Also many responses on the reflector but they are not available anymore on the archive. ARRL thinks it is the greatest thing since the invention of coax. You might talk to them too. 73.....Rick On Jul 27, 2017, at 2:48 AM, ke5ith via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: 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.    Keith Ke5ith Keep a song in your heart and a smile on your face.  Begin forwarded message: From: "ARRL Web site" <memberl...@www.arrl.org> Date: July 26, 2017 at 11:10:07 CDT To: ke...@ke5ith.com Subject: ARRL Request to Contact Your US Senators Supporting S 1534 - the Amateur Radio Parity Act 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 Representatives in 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:   https://arrl.rallycongress.net/ctas/urge-us-senate-to-support-amateur-radio-parity-act     Thank you.   73, Rick - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rick Roderick, K5UR President ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio®   ABOUT THIS E-MAIL This e-mail was sent by ARRL, and contains timely information of importance to all radio amateurs.
