Might be off topic. If so, I apologize......To all hams communicating while
mobile in New Jersey, please note the new Bill preventing cell phone
(electronic communications devices) goes into effect tomorrow March 1,2008.
Ham radio
is not effected by this Legislative action. So you can continue to
communicate on Ham Radio but not your cell phone.
It is recommended you print out a copy of the Bill and keep it near your
vehicle ham gear. It can be found at:
_http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/legis/2007c198_law.pdf_
(http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/legis/2007c198_law.pdf) ... If stopped, In
a respectful
manner, show the police officer a copy of the Bill stating the Ham Radio
exemption
along with a copy of your Ham license. No points are involved but a copy of
the law may prevent a $100 - $250 fine. I'd rather tell it to the cop instead
of the judge.
