On a positive note, in his opening remarks, Chairman Upton said, â(W)e will also move forward with legislation to protect the rights of amateur radio operators. Just as the law recognizes that access to broadcast satellite communications are an important part of our national information infrastructure, so too should we recognize the role of amateur radio. This is especially important as amateur radio operators can serve a crucial role in providing communications in the wake of natural disasters and other times when commercial communications networks might be unavailable. The underlying bill seeks to ensure that amateur radio operators are permitted to operate in deed-restricted communities. The amendment in the nature of a substitute under consideration represents a good faith compromise between the two parties most impacted by this bill: amateurs and community associations.â
As soon as we hear anything regarding a new date, we will pass it on to the Board
Are you sure it isn't time for a sit-in? :-) Great to hear things continue to move closer to the goal despite the political chaos.
