Update about the Electronics Ban Bill: (1/30/10)   County Council Bill 2336 making it illegal to use handheld electronic devices while driving has not been passed yet, but Derek Kawakami has assured us Amateur Radio operators will be exempt.

Electronics ban bill introduced   The Kauai County Council is considering an ordinance making it illegal for Kauai drivers to use handheld electronic devices when driving.  They are having a hearing and could pass the bill Wednesday, January 13, 2010.  I would ask that each of you send an email to one or more council members explaining the importance of Amateur Radio and why licensed radio amateurs should be exempted.
