Support PRB-1 Legislation in New York State
A new bill has been introduced in the New York Assembly
as bill # A1565 and New York State Senate as bill # S2893
which would codify the essence of PRB-1 in New York State Law.
This bill will help amateurs erect legal antennas and antenna
support structures in New York. It is VERY important that you,
as a leader in the amateur radio community, distribute this
law to as many hams as possible and encourage them to write
their State Assemblyman and State Senator. We need their
representative to either cosponsor or support this bill!
If you have any questions, please send e-mail to n2ga@aol.com
