Ok. I should have guessed it was politics. I try to stay out of that aspect
of amateur radio.

Steve, key words are "Hudson Division." That is an American Radio
Relay League (ARRL) geopolitical region.

So what you received was a political advertisement for an amateur
radio operator, Frank Fallon/n2FF, who wishes to be reelected to his
post as Director, Hudson Division.

From my inbox this evening. Anyone have the real story behind what is
going
on ?

-------------------------------

I am writing to inform you of support that is needed for the Hudson
Division
Director Frank Fallon, N2FF. It seems that Steve Mendelsohn plans to
contest Frank's re-election. Why? Your guess is as good as mine!
There is
no reason for Frank to be contested since he has been very active in the
Hudson Division. Frank has been instrumental in being an advocate for
the
New York antenna legislation. Currently he is pursuing the same
activities
in New Jersey. In addition, he played a major role in persuading
Congressman Steve Israel to introduce the Amateur Radio Emergency
Communications Consistency Act. For those of you who do not know what
that
is; basically it deals with homeowners associations that ban HAM radio
antennas in condominium dwellings, where a HAM is not insulated (via
PRB-1)
against this threat. Frank has done many other important things for
amateur
radio. In an age where amateur radio is being challenged more than
ever, we
need HAMS to volunteer for amateur radio for a change. Where others
choose
to do nothing and leave it for the next guy, Frank stands and perseveres
to
thrust amateur radio forward by getting the job done.



When you receive your ballot in the mail sometime towards
the
end of September, please support Frank Fallon, N2FF. Remember to send
it
back on a timely basis. Whether you know it or not, Frank IS doing the
job
for amateurs on some very important issues that threaten the very
existence
of the future of our hobby. Thanks for your time and support.
