I'm pleased to report that Congressman Larson, who represents the district where ARRL Headquarters is located, will be cosponsoring HR 1301. That makes 80% of the Connecticut House delegation; I will chase the staffer in Congresswoman DeLauro's office, whom I have met with twice, to make it 100%. By the way, the reference to the NFA Ham Radio Club is because Scott's father and I went to the same high school. Connecticut is a small place.

I haven’t heard from you about Congressman Larson’s co-sponsorship of HR 1301, the Amateur Radio Parity Act, and thought I should touch base since we just received confirmation from Allison Smith in Rep. Esty’s office that she is going on the bill this week. Not counting Rep. Esty we have 87 co-sponsors now; with her, we have 60% of the Connecticut House delegation. We really want to achieve 100% and especially value Congressman Larson’s co-sponsorship since ARRL Headquarters is in the 1st District. By the way, Senator Blumenthal is the original co-sponsor of S. 1685, the Senate counterpart bill. If there is anything more we can do at our end, please let me know. Thanks.

The number of co-sponsors is now up to 44. I hope Congressman Larson is considering co-sponsoring the bill.

Dave, That's great news! Congratulations and thanks. 73 de Mike N2YBB Sent from my iPhone
