[TowerTalk] Bill in the House

[jim Jarvis]

The topic, while political, IS relevant here.

And, as someone observed, since disasters tend to be local, the  
resulting
legislation could work against regulations permitting useful  
structures for
international dx work, just as easily as working in our favor.

I might observe that localized disaster communications could involve
digital store and forward messaging,  particularly for health and  
welfare.
In turn, that could best be served by regional stations...  
communicating from A to B
might best be done via C,  depending on propagation, terrain, and  
local conditions.

Without getting detailed...  I would submit that monitoring this bill is
a worthwhile effort.

I would, however, ask discussion be limited to executive summaries of  
progress,
rather than full narrative exposition, followed by debate over topic  
relevance.

Is that possible, or am I an foolish optimist?
