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.

Do you need any backup?. I would love to hear why he thinks this is such a
good deal. If this is such a good deal then the ARRL has done a rotten job
of selling it to the members. 73,Ron,

Subject: H.R. 555 Chris, you are under some very serious misapprehensions

Where did you get the information that you put in this e-mail? Let me know when
I can call you and tell you what the Bill is really about. 73, Chris W3KD --

Subject: H.R. #555To the BOD of the ARRL and others: This pending legislation
is the worse piece of manure I have seen for the amateur radio community since
the days of Prose Walker and the WR repeater license debacle.
To give HOAs such power as proposed is totally against what the original relief
of the proposed bill was supposed to provide. Amateurs NEED some relief from
HOAs and this bill does NOT provide it. It must be KILLED or withdrawn and
revamped ASAP. As a broadcast engineer and owner (KLLS 1300), I cannot believe
this legislation was allowed to get this far with the ARRL HQ help. I am a life
member of the ARRL and DEMAND the BoD withdraw support for this bill and draft
a new one in the spirit that this was originally intended; to allow amateurs to
put up reasonable antennas WITHOUT HOA approval (similar to PRB-1 for Over The
Air Reception Devices). Otherwise, this proposed bill will kill any chance of
an amateur radio operator in a HOA controlled area from ever able to install
ANY antennas (HF or VHF/UHF) and will lead to those who have been operating
with stealth antennas having to face fines and dismantled such antennas. Shame
on the ARRL BoD for allowing this to even get to this point. Regards,
