Free The Antenna!!!



Help Pass The HOA Legislation
To Eliminate HOA Prohibitions on Amateur Radio Antennas!!!


Free The Antenna!!!


HOW CAN I HELP?

By sending a letter to each of your Congressional Representatives and your Senators. Is my individual letter important? YES — Representatives and Senators rely on constituent input to decide which bills to support. Your voice counts.


BACKGROUND

The ARRL has secured Congressional support in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate to introduce legislation that, if passed, would eliminate HOA/private land-use restrictions that prohibit Amateur Radio operators from installing antennas at their residences.


WHAT ARE THE BILLS?


U.S. House: H.R. 1094
Introduced by August Pfluger (R-TX) and Joe Courtney (D-CT)

U.S. Senate: S. 459
Introduced by Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
