SC HR4549 "The Amateur Radio Antenna Protection Act"
Greeting Palmetto State Amateur Radio Enthusiasts, We have been informed that H.R.4549 "The Amateur Radio Antenna Protection Act," which was pre-filed by Rep Fawn Pedalino and co-sponsored by representatives, Guffey, Taylor, Leber, Felder, Hardee and Burns will be read in session on Wednesday February 21, 2024. The Bill will remove private land restrictions on some antennas for amateur radio use. Link to the bill: We would like to show the legislators in SC our support for this bill. We are asking for amateur radio operators to rally for this bill and attend the reading at the State House in Columbia. We need as many operators as possible to be at the state house. We want to fill the upper gallery with amateur radio operators to show our numbers in the state. Please, if you can join us make plans to be at the session. The session begins at 10am, please arrive by 9am to make sure you get a seat. The State House Address is: 1100 Gervais St, Columbia, SC 29201. There are parking lots and a parking deck on Assembly Street, within a block or two of the SC State House. I want to thank Robert Hill, KB3HNB for his continued work on this legislation and commitment to amateur radio. More to follow in the SC Section report in about a week. Until next time, Best 73 NJ4Z |
