You may have recently received a member bulletin from ARRL HQ requesting you to help with letters to Congress in support of two bills in Congress intended to allow some Amateur Radio antennas for hams who live in homeowner associations and condos.
This effort will have the most impact when every ARRL member and non-member go to the website below and add their support:
https://send-a-letter.org/hoa/
You will just have to enter your callsign. The rest of the form should auto populate with your data. Please check for accuracy and edit if needed. When finished, click the “send my letters” button. That’s all there is to it!
Your letters will be forwarded and hand delivered to the appropriate Representative and Senators in favor of the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act (Senate: S.459, House: H.R.1094).
Your help is very much needed to ensure our voices are heard in Congress. Please forward this request to anyone you know who hold a current FCC Amateur Radio license – ARRL member or not. Every ham will
benefit from the changes proposed.
More details about the legislation can be found here:

NoBARC is an organization of about 150 Amateur Radio Operators (“Hams”) centered in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Many of our repeaters are atop Mount Greylock at 3500 feet above sea level and have a typical coverage without obstruction of about a 250-300 mile circle, making these some of the widest coverage repeaters in the Northeast.
The Massachusetts War Memorial tower atop Mount Greylock. Our repeater antennas are a short distance away from this tower.
