ARRL Director Promotes Amateur Radio Parity Act Before Senate Committee:

ARRL Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, testified on January 25 before a session of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation regarding Amateur Radio's readiness to respond in an emergency. The session, "This is not a Drill: An Examination of Emergency Alert Systems," was called in the wake of an incoming missile warning erroneously released in Hawaii in January. Lisenco said Amateur Radio played a role not only in responding to the warning but in disseminating word that the missile alert had been issued by mistake.
