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.
