The good news is that a story about amateurs' opposition to part of HR 607 made today's USA Today. The bad news is that the story was botched in editing. Of course, it simply isn't true that the bill would "reallocate some radio frequencies now used by ham radio to first responders responsible for public safety." Allen Pitts has called this to the reporter's attention but it remains to be seen whether there will be a correction. Dave http://www.usatoday.com/money/media/2011-03-29-hamradio29_ST_N.htm
