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 ... 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. Gary K2UQ Trenton, NJ It's Tax Time!
