The number is S.1629. Dave HB9/K1ZZ ________________________________ From: Joel Harrison [mailto:w5zn@arrl.org] Sent: Thu 6/14/2007 9:44 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: FW: Emergency Amateur Radio Interference Act I'm very pleased to report to you that we now have a Senate version of HR462! The bill number will be available shortly. Senator Mark Pryor (Arkansas) filed the bill today. This is successful completion of an effort that has been ongoing for a little over two months that has involved the activity of a variety of people. Another important fact is that Entergy, the major utility in Arkansas and many parts of the U.S. operates a BPL system to collect electric usage data (no subscriber base) and has been very cooperative with radio amateurs from the very beginning about preventing interference to amateur radio stations and actually bought off and supports the language of the bill. More later. 73 Joel W5ZN ________________________________ From: John Chwat [mailto:john.chwat@chwatco.com] Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 3:18 PM To: w5zn@arrl.org; 'Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ'; cimlay@arrl.org Cc: 'Janet Worthington' Subject: FW: Emergency Amateur Radio Interference Act Congratulations to all-we now have a House AND Senate bill-we will get a Senate bill number tomorrow to forward---we have offered to draft a Dear Colleague for Sen.Pryor's staff.
