/////////////////////////////////////////// New Amateur Radio Parity Act Bill Introduced in US House of Representatives Posted: 17 Jan 2017 05:42 AM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38435 H.R. 555 - a new "Amateur Radio Parity Act" bill - has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill's language is identical to that of the 2015 measure, H.R. 1301, which passed in the House late last summer but failed in the waning days of the US Senate to gain the necessary support. As with H.R. 1301, the new measure introduced on January 13 in the 115th Congress was sponsored by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), with initial co-sponsorship by Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT) and Rep. Greg Walden, W7EQI (R-OR). Walden now chairs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, to which the new bill has been referred. H.R. 555 will get an initial airing in the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. When H.R. 1301 came up in committee, Walden spoke forcefully in favor of the measure, which ultimately attracted 126 House cosponsors. /////////////////////////////////////////// RadFxSat (Fox-1B) Launch Moved to Late August: Posted: 17 Jan 2017 05:41 AM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38434 AMSAT reports that the launch date for RadFxSat (Fox-1B) has been moved to August 29, 2017.
