The 4th quarter #ARRL Roanoke Division newsletter is available at: https://www.arrl-roanoke.com/Newsletters/RK-Newsletter-Dec-2025.pdf
In which Division Vice Director N2COP reverses the previous anti-GMRS position he bull-shittedly expressed to me when I inquired why we weren’t in coalition with those operators to pass the Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act.
 is to represent the community of those who hold
Amateur Radio licenses under Part 97 of the FCC.
Other radio services do not qualify under our charter, and advocating for them could run the risk of jeopardizing our nonprofit status. They are welcomed to submit their own comments on our behalf but soliciting that support could prove a violation of ARRL's charter. Also, many government emergency management agencies are prohibited under law from advocating for specific legislation. ARRL is reaching out to ARES organizations to join the campaign, but we have received polite refusals from government emergency management agencies because they cannot get involved.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/823/614/733/239/782/original/4c36b6cd820d174b.jpeg)

Also thanks to new board member Ron #N8TEN who is taking over as activities coordinator from Dinesh @AB3DC .
The new board was elected by acclimation and was met with thunderous applause, i.e. no one else wanted to run.
