Time is of the essence! The Amateur Radio Parity Act, having successfully
cleared the US House, now awaits action in the US Senate. If the bill is
not passed before the Senate adjourns for the year in December, it
will "die" and we have to begin the entire process in both houses of
Congress when the 115th Congress is sworn in come January 2017.

"CQ, CQ, CQ calling\&" If one were in Nederland on a particular street in a
particular building at a particular time, one may have heard this general
call being made by an amateur radio operator on Saturday. The Jefferson
County Amateur Radio Club (JCARC) celebrates the 75th anniversary of its
affiliation with the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Saturday and
Sunday. The public is invited to learn about amateur, or ham, radio at the
event, where club members come together and talk about their shared love of
ham radio. "It's our 75th anniversary with the ARRL. The club's been
affiliated with them since 1941," Kirk Mahaney, Vice President of the
JCARC, said. "It used to be known as the Port Arthur Radio Club before
switching over to Jefferson County."

professors from Connecticut's University of Hartford and Quinnipiac
