Fellow HAMS. In case you haven’t seen it, the ARRL has made it real easy to send a letter to your congressman or Senator to sponsor the Ham Radio antenna bill. Just press a button and press send. You can read what it says as well before it goes out. As you know, we all wrestle with antenna situations in our communities. This move afoot needs your help. See the paragraph below from the ARRL. I just did it in 10 seconds. In fact I support this and I am a HOA President. But then I understand it.
