YouTube video from ARRL on encouraging clubs to have members send letters to Congress for Preparedness Act

Radio Clubs – Send Your Letters & Pass the Bill!

ARRL has launched a nationwide grassroots campaign that now invites radio clubs across the country to take part in securing the passage of federal legislation granting Amateur Radio Operators the same rights to install antennas on their property as those enjoyed by users of TV antennas, wireless internet, and flagpoles.

The campaign follows the reintroduction of the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act in February 2025. The bipartisan bills — H.R.1094 in the House and S.459 in the Senate — are designed to prevent restrictive homeowners’ association (HOA) rules that currently prohibit or severely limit the installation of amateur radio antennas, even when such antennas are hidden in trees, placed in attics, mounted on vehicles, or look like flagpoles.
