We discuss the reintroduction of a bill proposed to Congress in 2023 to allow ham radio operators to erect antennas in deed restricted communities, and the grass roots effort to get it passed. We’ll also take some of your comments and questions from our blog, YouTube channel and our Forum at TwoWayRadioForum dot com. Intro :00 Billboard 1:15 New Bills Introduced to Allow Ham Radio Antennas in HOAs 1:30 In 2023 a bipartisan bill Titled Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act was introduced to the US House of Representatives. This bill proposed to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit the application of certain private land use restrictions to amateur station antennas in HOAs. It didn’t pass. Now, the bill is back, and with it a grassroots effort to push it through legislation from none other than the ARRL. How You Can Help Get The Bills Passed 37:00 1. Write Congress. The most direct action right now is to send letters to your Representative and both Senators using the ARRL tool at send-a-letter.org. Personalize your note with local emergency-comms experience if you have it. The ARRL page summarizes the bills, explains the need for their passage 2. Track the bills. Bookmark the Congress.gov pages for H.R. 1094 and S. 459 to monitor cosponsors and committee movement. Momentum builds when lawmakers see sustained constituent interest.

We discuss the new Pennsylvania law that bans the use of handheld mobile devices and how it may affect two way radio operators across various services. We’ll also take some of your comments and questions from our blog, YouTube channel and our forum at twowayradioforum dot com. Intro :00 Billboard 1:10 Tariffs on Two Way Radios 1:25 On June 5 2025, Pennsylvania enacted Paul Miller’s Law. This new law bans the use of hand-held mobile devices in a vehicle, even when the vehicle is stationary. While many other states have hands-free laws, this one seems to be a little more concerning to mobile radio operators because it allows an exception for only one radio service and not the others. How will it affect the use of business, CB, GMRS and MURS mobile radio communications? Could this bring about the eventual end to on and off road mobile two way radios for those services as we know it? Hands-Free Options For Radios 20:06 We have several hands-free options for two way radios that may be affected by Paul Miller’s Law.

Intro :00 Billboard 1:13 Tariffs on Two Way Radios 1:28 The U.S.-China trade war has brought a lot of uncertainty for suppliers and users of two way radios in the first half of 2025.

We discuss the pros and cons of both the Amateur and GMRS radio services and which one we think is better. We’ll also take some of your comments and questions from our blog and our forum. Intro :00 Billboard 1:07 Is Ham Radio Better or GMRS? 1:21 Recently someone in our forum introduced a discussion comparing the amateur radio service to the GMRS, and provided a short but interesting take as to why he thought ham radio was the better option. The reasoning put forth was based simply on the fact that while both were governed by rules set forth by the FCC, ham radio had more spectrum allocated to it than GMRS. While it is true that GMRS has fewer channels, is it really fair to say that ham radio is better than GMRS, or could it be the other way around?

Intro :00 Billboard 1:05 Bills Proposed to Allow Ham Radio Antennas in an HOA 1:21 In 2023 a bipartisan bill of particular interest to amateur radio operators was introduced to the United States House of Representatives. Titled Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act, this bill proposed to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit the application of certain private land use restrictions to amateur station antennas, and for other purposes.
