With all the resources of the ARRL, wouldn't be nice if they could take this 
on by writing a legal opinion to the county- maybe a well written letter to 
give them something to think about-  with a few references to past cases in 
which hams prevailed? 

Well, they sort of do! "The FCC Rule Handdbook" as edited by Norm Bliss, 
WA1CCQ, makes reference to a number of court cases involving court cases and 
letters used to prevail in court- 

It seems like it is an iron clad case if handled by an experienced attorney- 
But man, lots of $$$$ for a private attorney to research and fight- the book 
I used to win my case only cost me $12-

I had a legal case brought against me by Adams County, when I lived outside 
of Denver.  After an attorney was referred to me by the ARRL, he thought I 
was looking at big money to resolve the case-  Humph! 

So I called a ham friend of mine, another attorney, and for $250 bucks, he 
wrote a letter, making reference to two previous court cases in which hams 
prevailed found in this book, and the case was dropped-  good things can 
happen, hams don't always have to lose or spend big bucks on fighting in 
court-  It's a case by case world, but until it happens to you, one does not 
realize how alone you can find yourself in dealing with the first salvo's of 
legal action- 

But the pen can be mightier than the fist! These county guys down in New 
Mexico sound like a bunch chumps-  Go Get Em Gerry!
