Hello World !!
We ask for support, help and solidarity!

AN APPEAL FOR SOLIDARITY

I am writing to you in the name of PZK Headquarters with an appeal for
co-operation in addressing the Polish Ministry of the Environment which is
carrying out a `process of consultations´ before issuing a planned
Ministerial Decree on "Installations requiring licensing" and on
"Requirements on licensing of installations emitting electromagnetic
fields".

Let me state `in a nutshell´: both these Ministerial decrees, if issued as
Polish executive regulation, will limit the operation of Polish amateur
radio stations operating in the Amateur Radio and Amateur Satellite Services
almost to nonexistence. The planned decrees treat amateur radio stations on
the same level as commercial radio stations (broadcasting and television
transmitters, radiocommunication transmitters) requiring measurements of
electromagnetic field intensisties in various directions of the field
radiated by the antenna, registration of technical properties of equipment
etc. etc.

I would add that, completely unexpectedly, the Polish Ministry of the
Environment - who protects the environment from "pollution and
electromagnetic fields", did not ask PZK, representing several thousand
"emitters of e.m. energy",  about our opinion on this subject.

In view of the possible implications of these envisioned governmental
regulations, horror and fright inspired our members to organize a protest
action consisting of sending thousands (hopefully) e-mails, letters and
facsimile messages to the Minister and personally contacting our MPs, with
the aim of making "them" understand the nature of our hobby, the practical
and technical difference in operation between amateur and commercial
`emitters´ etc.

This action of protest is currently taking place in Poland. We, PZK, think
that perhaps help from abroad, from our companion amateur radio Societies ,
the IARU and individual hams, could reinforce and intensify our action. We
would be very grateful for your letters sent to the Polish Minister of the
Environment, expressing solidarity with Polish hams and, perhaps, explaining
the nature of our hobby, which is not only a `private´ hobby and leisure
activity, but a social service of great importance. We are confident that
such international support will make some impression upon the decision
makers in our country, no doubt.

That is why we start this request for help with the title "Appeal for
Solidarity"...

One never knows if and when some unknowing government employee in another
country might come to a similar idea.

In our case, Polish hams would be compelled to use exlusively EIRP levels of
15 Watts, if the expense of providing measurement proofs to the Government
would be too high for individual amateurs. The requirement of registering
(licensing) technical apparatus, including antennas, limits any attempts at
experimentation, the essential feature of our `hobby´.

If you feel you might help PZK by sending a letter, fax or e-mail to the
Polish Ministry of the Environment, please do it!

On behalf of PZK,

Wes Wysocki, SP2DX
Ex-IARU liaison officer
