FCC has issued a request for comments on EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS BY AMATEURRADIO AND IMPEDIMENTS TO AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS.
Specifically, they are asking about how CC&R's (restrictive covenants) may impede hams from providing emergency communications services.
This is our best chance to have FCC set rules that will protect hams' rights against unreasonable restrictions imposed by HOA's.
