North Carolina Governor Signs Antenna Bill

On Friday, June 29, North Carolina Governor Mike Easley signed HB1340, the “Amateur Radio Antenna” bill into law. North Carolina becomes the 25th state to pass a state model of the FCC’s 1985 PRB-1 regulation, and becomes the halfway point for all 50 states having some kind of state antenna legislation. The bill was introduced for the first time in February and passed unanimously in both the House and the Senate. The law takes effect October 1 and permits antennas up to 90 feet in height in areas regulated solely by municipal (county and city) ordinances.
