? Some of us have been buying parts and accessories from Temu and AliExpress. They often offer extremely attractive prices. But I decided not to continue their service. The AARP Bulletin I just received has a few articles about online fraud. In one of them there is a mention that “Mobile apps collect all kinds of personal info, which can put you at risk, especially in case of a data breach. For example, the popular Chinese shopping app Temu collects so much data that one state attorney general deemed it spyware.” There is also a warning that not all Amazon and eBay vendors are trustworthy.

I’m back in town. WX looks good for Friday. If my doc says it’s OK to go skiing (I just had a simple prostate surgery), I will leave for Palisade-Tahoe Friday afternoon. If not, I will be at the Baylands and see you guys. It’s been a while and I have lots of stories to tell. Hiroki AH6CY

If this legislation passes finally, I would be able to put up a decent antenna at my home QTH. There may be others in our group who would benefit likewise. Hiroki AH6CY ARRL Member Bulletin for February 8, 2025 L February 8, 2025 Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act Re-Introduced Legislation Will Increase Communication Options During Natural Disasters WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Richard Blumenthal, D- Conn., and Representatives August Pfluger, R-Tex., and Joe Courtney, D-Conn. announced their joint re-introduction of legislation in the Senate and House to restore the right to Amateur Radio operators to install the antennas necessary to serve their communities. Homeowner association rules often prevent Amateur Radio operators from installing antennas at their homes even though Amateur Radio has proven to be essential in emergencies and natural disasters such as hurricanes when other means of communication fail. “Mississippians should have access to every possible means of warning for natural disasters, including amateur radio operators. In an emergency, those warnings can mean the difference between life and death,” Senator Wicker said. “The Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act would remove unnecessary roadblocks that could help keep communities safe during emergencies like tornadoes, hurricanes, and fires.” “When disaster strikes, amateur radio operators provide vital, often life-saving information, which shouldn’t be hindered by prohibitive rules or confusing approval processes. The Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act eliminates obstacles for ham radio enthusiasts, allowing them to continue their communications and serve their communities in the face of emergencies,” said Senator Blumenthal. “Natural disasters and other emergency situations that hinder our regular lines of communication are unfortunately unavoidable, which is why we must bolster our emergency preparedness by removing the barriers amateur radio operators often run into when installing antennas. Amateur radio plays a vital role in public safety by delivering critical information to people at all times. My district is home to dozens of amateur radio operators ready to volunteer in the event of an emergency, and I am proud to lead this legislation,” said Congressman August Pfluger. “As we know from recent natural disasters, amateur radio operators in Connecticut can be a critical component of disaster response and emergency management. It is in our communities’ best interest that we give them the capabilities to operate at the highest level, and with the re-introduction of this bill, we’ve taken a strong step in that direction,” said Congressman Courtney. Background: The Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act of 2025 (H.R. 1094 and S. 459) would require homeowner associations to accommodate the needs of FCC-licensed Amateur Radio operators by prohibiting the enforcement of private land use restrictions that ban, prevent, or require the approval of the installation or use of Amateur Radio station antennas. Homeowner associations have often prevented installation and use of such antennas through private land use restrictions. This has hindered voluntary training for emergency situations and blocked access to necessary communications when disaster strikes. Among other provisions, this legislation would: Prohibit homeowner association rules that would prevent or ban Amateur Radio antennas; Specify an approval process for installing Amateur Radio antennas; Provide a Federal private right of action to Amateur Radio operators in disputed cases. On behalf of America’s Amateur Radio licensees, Rick Roderick, the President of The American Radio Relay League, re-confirmed the ARRL’s full support for the passage of the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act of 2025 and extended his thanks and appreciation to Senators Wicker and Blumenthal and Congressmen Pfluger and Courtney for their unflagging leadership of the bi-partisan effort to support and protect the rights of all Amateur Radio Operators.
