Hello All,
Hi All,
The email below comes from the SCCC reflector. Please take a moment to reflect on the issue and, should you find it has merit, please print, sign and mail or FAX to John Chwat at the Alexandria, Virginia address at the bottom.
Thank you for helping save the 440 MHz amateur radio spectrum.

Everyone-
The telecomms are trying to steal the 440 MHz ham band under the ruse of "public safety." Below is an excellent form letter on-line to protest to any ham's congressman. Everyone should print, sign and mail or email the signed letter to his/her Congressman (determined for you by the website).

Finally, you should have all received an email from Greg Sarratt,
W4OZK, our Southeastern Division Director about the threat to our 440 MHz band by HR 607 in the US House of Representatives. If you have not already done so, please let your US Representative know you oppose it.
The easiest way to create the letter is to go to www.kd4pyr.net/hamletter.htm You just put in your call and it does the rest (fills in your address, looks up your Representative, etc.)
Signed letters can be sent by fax or postal mail. They can also be scanned into PDF format and e-mailed as a file attachment. Postal mail: John Chwat, Chwat & Co., Suite 103, 625 Slaters Lane, Alexandria, VA 22314. E-mail: john.chwat@chwatco.com. Fax number: (703) 684-7594.
When you send your signed letter to Mr. Chwat, he will hand deliver it to your representative for even grater impact!
Thanks for your help and support in this important effort.

You are WAY over reacting talk to me since I WROTE that portion of the bill in Question and the ARRL and Public Safety have been in talks for weeks AND it is NOT the telecoms so take a deep breath and cam down Andy Andrew Seybold wirelessly

Ok Alain, responding to your private email but to the group I have to admit that I am somewhat sensitive about this issue—because I was involved, I have included for anyone who is interested the slides (typos and all) that I presented to the Rabbit Repeater group not too long ago so that you might get a glimpse of what really happened with this bill.
I have presented these to many clubs in CA, that asked me to present this to them,

Andrew, ARRL is also encouraging the letter-writing campaign and has a sample letter with identical verbiage on their web site in .doc form. See here:
http://www.arrl.org/sample-letters
Are you saying that the amateur community should NOT oppose the bill in its current form? If not, why not?
