The CAUHF Group, in conjunction with local animal rights groups, have started a new movement that they have titled "Get Your Pet On The Air". It's stated mission is to support the creation of a Pet Radio Operator's license for animal family members of other licensed Amateur Radio operators.
Randy Wright, AE5RW, said "The looks that I get from Sasha every single Tuesday night during the AR Links System Net are just unbearable. She's always wanted her own license since she was a puppy. Now she has hope that someday she too can check-in... short of time... with no traffic."
Pet owners all around central Arkansas have expressed interest in helping to create such a movement for several hours, but it wasn't until recently that this dream seemed possible.
But not everyone is in favor of the idea. Tem Moore, N5KWL said, "That is just crazy. Seriously, how could my dog remember his own call sign? He has a hard enough time remembering mine."
Arkansas Section Manager J.M. Rowe, N5XFW, said that he wasn't sure how this would be accepted by the ARRL or the FCC but he was definitely in favor of being favorable.
For the CAUHF Group, I'm N5JLC. 73!
NOTE: For those who may be a little dense, this was an April Fool's joke.
