Dick, What are you advocating??? I discussed the issue of BPL and antenna regs with our state senator (Maria Cantwell) last week. She remembered the bill we got through the Washington State legislature about 10 years ago and seems to be a real proponent of ham radio. I asked her to co-sponsor the bill and she had one of her aides call me last week about it. Hopefully making some headway here. BTW, I'm at my Vancouver house for a couple of days and can send messages to the ODV from here. Can't do this in Seattle (can receive everything but can't send anything). Will be here until tomorrow PM and most of the next two weeks. Moving to an island in Puget Sound early next month to work and probably eventually live.

If there is a change in leadership in the White House and a change in majorities in the U.S. Senate this fall, I would strongly suggest Richard Lee be urged to request an appointment as an FCC Commissioner and we do all we can to get him there - possibly as Chairman.
Having a Commissioner who truly believes in enforcing the rules, even if it means stepping on various corporate agendas, who be refreshing to say the least and would go a long way to restoring credence to the FCC.
