Here you go, Jim. As chairman of the House Telecomm Subcommittee, Greg Walden has considerable influence over how the Energy and Commerce Committee handles the bill. Amendments can be made in the committee. Rep. Jackson Lee is not on the committee and in any case is in the minority. Dave ________________________________ From: James F.

Interesting Frequency Selection
by Jim Weaver K8JE 10 Jan '11

I had a procedure done on my back earlier today. RF was used to disrupt a few pain-carrying nerves. Being the usual, curious ham I asked the frequency being used. I was told is was 1470 kHz. As I said above, interesting. Jim Weaver, K8JE, Director ARRL Great Lakes Division 5065 Bethany Rd. Mason, OH 45040; Tel. 513-459-1661 ARRL, The national association for Amateur Radio
