I've had some push back from a few alleged and self appointed "Constitutional Scholars" raving about allowing us to let the camel's nose in the tent on private contracts. I usually site the 1996 act and tell them the Camel came in, ate your dinner then walked off with the tent; or I tell them we're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic and to be sure and get a comfy one. It depends on the strain of lunatic you're dealing with at the moment. They don't want facts nor will they accept them. One was dressed as Paul Revere at a Hamfest and it was not during Halloween... 73 David A. Norris, K5UZ Director, Delta Division Sent from my iPhone

Don't worry, I dealt with it quickly. The author is just a wana-be rebel, who has caused a little problem with the EWA ARES group, but it is being taken care of. Just thought it should be out in front of us. 73, Jim

If you encounter that question from your legislator, I would tell him or her that Amateur Radio is a cross-section of the entire population and, as such, includes some people who dislike or distrust the Federal government in general. Further, the author's solution to an HOA restriction appears to be to break the rule by putting up one or more stealth antennas. That kind of reaction speaks poorly for the underlying restriction,
Also, I wonder why the author chooses not to disclose his or her callsign. In a quick search of the FCC database, I could find no licensee by that name. Might kilo-16 be a licensee using a pen name? In either case, I sense the author is hiding something.

In talking to one of our Representatives, I discovered a Prepper group actually opposing our efforts. The question to me was "why are Hams in opposition to the Bills". While I don't see much of an impact, I do believe we need to know who the other side is.

During our fire season, this group went into a couple of towns and set up communications (self-deployed) but ended up doing some good.
73 and good Hamming
