Second link doesn't work for me. That said, I'm sure I can get to the data
via the CQ web site.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contesting from HOA neighborhoods -- Pro and Con on
the Amateur Radio Parity Act
(If you only operate contests from outside US territories, please ignore)
This was briefly discussed on CQ-Contest last year (see
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/CQ-Contest/2016-09/msg00122.html)
,
but now there is now new information to consider.
CQ Magazine has just summarized the current controversy over the proposed
Amateur Radio Parity Act (HR-555 / S.1534), providing useful links, here:
http://cqnewsroom.blogspot.com/2017/08/cq-white-paper-pros-
and-cons-of-amateur.html
At the bottom of the page you will find links to documents in support of the
bill by the ARRL's General Counsel, Chris Imlay, W3KD, and papers written by
prominent attorneys who strongly oppose the bill, one by Fred Hopengarten,
K1VR (author of *Antenna Zoning for the Radio Amateur*), and the other by
Jim Talens, N3JT (retired FCC attorney).
At one time I supported the bill, but now I agree with both K1VR and N3JT
that this act, if signed into law, will do more harm than good. Like me, you
may not live in an HOA neighborhood now, but you may want to move to one
some day. Passage of this bill could affect all U.S. contesters and DXers,
for decades.
It is very important for contesters and DXers to contact your Senators soon,
to let them know how you feel about HR-555 / S.1534.

Bob, N6TV
