What's Hot???
(Updated: 11/30/12 3:30PM)
[GENERAL CLASS In Federal Way THIS WEEKEND!]

Hope the past holiday treated you well as it did us. We had plenty of company from Terresa's Daughter and their family on Thursday to my Daughter and her family on Friday to my Brother on Sunday. Also on Sunday, we had another visitor stop by to show us his bird as he dropped it in our back yard. As his Thanksgiving crow laid there on our back lawn, dead, this guy swooped up onto the fence and posed for this pic, then went back, picked up his thanksgiving dinner and took off again. What a treat!!!
I'll mention it during the net tonight...might be neat to share on the FUN blog.

| So, can YOU operate an Amateur Radio while driving in WAshington? What does the WA LAW (RCWs) say? Thanks to Dixie [N7OYY] for the update! ================= (BTW: Dixie recommends keeping a Print Version of this RCW in your vehicle) ================= RCWs > Title 46 > Chapter 46.61 > Section 46.61.667Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Title 46 RCW -- MOTOR VEHICLES Chapter 46.61 RCW -- RULES OF THE ROAD RCW 46.61.667 -- Using a wireless communications device while driving. (1) Except as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, a person operating a moving motor vehicle while holding a wireless communications device to his or her ear is guilty of a traffic infraction. ---- (3) Subsection (1) of this section does not restrict the operation of an amateur radio station by a person who holds a valid amateur radio operator license issued by the federal communications commission. (5) The state preempts the field of regulating the use of wireless communications devices in motor vehicles, and this section supersedes any local laws, ordinances, orders, rules, or regulations enacted by a political subdivision or municipality to regulate the use of wireless communications devices by the operator of a motor vehicle. |
