On February 28, Montana Governor Steve Bullock (D) signed House Bill 148 into law. Montana State Representative Pat Connell, WA7PDC, had submitted the bill -- Clarifying Local Government Authority to Regulate Amateur Radio Operations -- on the 2013 Montana legislative docket in order to protect Amateur Radio operators in Montana from distracted driving laws. The new law prohibits local governments from regulating licensed Amateur Radio operations from a motor vehicle and also establishes a 100-foot by-right height below which local jurisdictions may not regulate Amateur Radio towers.

I would like to introduce ourselves as a group of Radio Amateur restoring Grey Point Fort, a WW1 Coastal Defence Fort located in Helens Bay, Crawfordsburn, Northern Ireland.
We would like to inform you that we will be running a special event station with the three Special Event Callsigns allocated to Grey Point Fort: GB0GPF - GN0URN - MN0GPF

For a 48 hour special event, starting at 1700hrs UTC 31st May 2013 to 1700hrs UTC 2nd June 2013
