Hi All,
There is a bill approaching the Senate floor that would allow for Amateur Radio Operators to have outside antennas even if you live in an area that has HOA restrictions. If you are not yet a ham, support the bill, get your license and then put up an outdoor scanner antenna to improve your reception!
This is especially important for Florida residents to express your support for H.R. 555 and S. 1534 as Senator Nelson blocked a version of this bill last year.
The ARRL has put together a link to e-mail Senators Nelson and Rubio (or your local senators if outside of FL). This takes less than 2 minutes to fill out.
