It appears that the exemption for hams was an amendment introduced in
the Senate.
http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/mea...2377.a1sa.html says,

(i) To a person who holds a valid amateur radio operator
license issued or any other license issued by the Federal
Communications Commission and is operating an amateur radio;
(j) To a person who operates a two-way radio device that
transmits radio communication transmitted by a station operating
on an authorized frequency within the citizens' or family radio
service bands in accordance with rules of the Federal
Communications Commission;

I'm curious if anyone knows how this got added to the bill at the last
minute. Do we have a ham who is an Oregon senator?
