Read the report..... It calls for the city to have the right not only to inspect the amateur radio antenna instalation but also the amateur radio equipment. Regulation of the equipment should be pre-empted by the Federal government.... specifically this July 9 dats says that the amateur cannot modify his installation (i.e. antenna AND EQUPIMENT) in any fasion diffrent from that approved intially by the city. If for instance, you add say VHF or UHF capacity to your station after the city grants approval your are in violation, likewise it would seem that adding an amplifier to your station would also be prohibited...What happens if you do either of these without prior notification to the city? Are they going to arrest you or confiscate your equipment? This is clearly a case of Federal goverment preemption and should not be laoowed to continue as written...
