LATEST NEWS: On Monday January 23, 2017 the US House of Representatives 
suspended their rules and passed the Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2917 by 
unanimous consent. This action now sends the bill to the US Senate for its 
consideration.

Agree,I'd like him to specifically address these following points (sent 
previously):
   
   - The bill does not address indefinite inaction or delay by an HOA (not as a 
result of failure) to enact reasonable rules and/or permit an antenna. 
   - The bill does not define the steps to HOA approval. In that quixotic 
hurdles can be required of the licensee, as part of the HOA approval process.
   - That guidance is lacking and should be provided "concerning height, 
location, size, and aesthetic impact of, and installation requirements for, 
outdoor antennas and support structures for the purpose of conducting 
communications" before the bill is passed.

Thanks, Chris, for getting someone's attention.
