Good Afternoon to All,

I received earlier today a request from President Rick Roderick K5UR updated information on the Amateur Radio Parity with additional FAQ's and support information thtat he requested all ARRL membership to be made aware of. 

We are at a critical juncture to get this legislation passed. I strongly urge all who have not contacted your U.S. Senatorial Leadership to do so as quickly as possible.

Those who have done so already, I thank you and appreciate your prompt action. 

President Roderick's Comments are below:

August 8, 2017

Dear ARRL Member:   Based on feedback I’ve received, it seems to me that some members still don’t fully understand certain features of the Amateur Radio Parity Act (ARPA) and what it is meant to do. To make things clearer, we have developed an FAQ in the format of questions and answers. Please take a few minutes and read the FAQ to learn more about the ARPA.  

Here is the direct link:

Thanks to those of you who have written your Senators in support of the ARPA. If you have not done so, please do so by clicking on the link below. It only takes a minute.
