BARC Opposed to H-4475
Posted by: Admin on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - 06:58 AM
BARC is oppose passage of H-4475 unless it is amended to protect amateur radio, for example, so that the passage in Chapter 90, Section 13 which exempts Citizen Band radio also include an exemption for amateur radio operators. Our concerned that the law might be interpreted so as to make mobile amateur radio operations illegal. An exemption for FCC-licensed amateurs in the law would allow us to continue training for & providing emergency & public service communications to our communities. Amateur radio operators perform many public service activities ranging from mobile emergency reporting to the National Weather Service and emergency management agencies during storms to support of charity road races and we couldn't do that if amateur radio operators weren't allowed to communicate while on the road. We request that H-4475 not be passed unless amended as requested. Please contact your senator and inform them of your view on passage of this bill.
