Hi, Chris. My top four finds are: 1) There's a potentially powerful statistic in Section II - 37 that I believe should be included in the Executive summary, namely that over 80% of new housing construction is subject to private deed restrictions. 2) The statistic noted above is preceded by the statement in Section II - 36 that, "as of 1998, one out of eight Americans lived in private common-interest communities". That suggests that seven out of eight don't but ignores the great number - perhaps a majority - that live in apartments or other rental units. This statement in isolation may do more harm than good. 3) Some cities require (see D #037) or encourage private deed restrictions as an alternative to detailed municipal zoning regulations, effectively bypassing the intent of PRB-1. This fact could bolster our discussion of the pervasiveness of private deed restrictions and/or of the scope of PRB-1. 4) One important reason Hams are constrained in their housing choices is proximity to adequate medical care (a hot topic in federal circles), but I don't find that mentioned anywhere in our discussion of housing alternatives / choices. This could be incorporated into document page 25 (pdf page 28) among other places. The rest consists of minor grammatical nits that are of no real consequence. 73, Marty N6VI ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris To: Marty Woll ; arrl-odv@arrl.org Cc: apitts@arrl.org ; lkustosik@arrl.org ; dhenderson@arrl.org Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 4:41 PM Subject: [arrl-odv:20781] Re: FCC Docket 12-91; FCC Study of Amateur Radio Emergency Communications and Impediments to the Same Marty, sad to say it really is too late.

Chris and all involved:
Thank you for your efforts in producing such a comprehensive and detail-filled response to the FCC inquiry. If you are open to edits at this late stage, let me know and I'll forward them separately. If not, I understand.
