newington ct  september 18, 1985
to all radio amateurs  bt


in an fcc  news  release  dated  september  18,  fcc  announced
favorable action on prb-1, the league's request for declaratory
ruling preempting local antenna ordinances. in the september 16
action,  fcc declared a limited preemption over state and local
regulations,  stating  that  such  regulations  which  preclude
amateur  radio  communications  are  in  direct  conflict  with
federal objectives and must be  preempted.  fcc  declared  that
local  antenna  regulations  must reasonably accomodate amateur
radio communications  and  represent  the  minimum  practicable
regulations  to  accomplish the purpose of the local authority.
