Help Defeat Ill-Conceived FLA Radio Law
 

Florida passed a law making it a third degree felony to transmit any
signal without a license. The American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the
national organization representing amateur radio operators saw this law
as too broad and vague and a threat to ham radio operators, since a
portion of the law also makes it a third degree felony to cause
interference to any broadcast station, even from a licensed ham
transmitter.
So the ARRL filed a Request for Declaratory Ruling asking that the FCC
void the Florida law. The FCC is studying the matter and may void the
Florida law. When is anybody's guess. You can call the FCC Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (WTB), who is handling this matter, and voice
your support of the ARRL petition to void the Florida interference law
by calling
202-418-0638. Please pass this on to other parties who wish to register
their support of the ARRL petition to void the ill-conceived Florida
interference law. Basically, states cannot legislate in the area of
radio interference, since this is solely reserved to the FCC.
