Dear Amateur Radio Operators of the Ohio Section,

As you know, the legislation for zoning of Amateur Radio Antennae has
been moving through the Hose and Senate Sides of the Statehouse, under
House Bill 158 (aka “PRB-1 for Ohio”).

Currently this Bill sits in the State and Local Government and Veterans
Affairs Committee. This Bill has going to its fourth hearing this
Wednesday, and may conclude with a vote to send the Bill to the Senate
Floor, where a favorable vote will move it to the Governor. We have
never been so close to seeing a piece of legislation supporting Amateur
Radio in Ohio move to the Governor’s desk, as we do now.

But…we need your help!

Below are listed the committee members of the State and Local
Government and Veterans Affairs Committee. If you reside in the area
that the Committee member oversees, please do us a favor, and contact
your Senator to give a positive vote to move House Bill 158 to the
Senate Floor. Ask them to review all the testimony that has been
presented to them, and ask them for a vote to allow Amateur Radio
operators to continue to be a viable resource for Homeland Security.

We have seen opposition to this Bill from the Ohio Municipal League,
who are also asking their members to contact committee members for
their support to oppose this Bill.

Remember, the 4th hearing with a possible vote is this Wednesday. Your
help is needed now.
