Bob, there are more direct ways of trying to soften the impact of deed restrictions on radio hobbyists than to contribute money to the club in Newington. For one thing, your direct testimony at local zoning hearings is crucial if presented in a knowledgeable, neutral tone. With state legislatures, your local lawmaker is receptive to community service ideas, and a constituent would do well to establish a link between emergency radio communications and that legislator's awareness of "homeland security." Both actions take time, but both provide a direct sense of satisfaction to those who make the effort on behalf of other licensees. You cannot get that connection from the ARRL.
