Governor proclaims June is Amateur radio month in PA

I am please to report that the PA Governor Josh Shapiro recognized the
dedication and efforts of Pennsylvania’s Amateur Radio operators in
emergency communications and public service by proclaiming June 2025
Amateur Radio Month. The full text of the proclamation is or will be
shown on the WPA and the EPA web sites. The EPA site is:

A big thank you to my long-time friend Lloyd Bankson Roach, K3QNT.
Lloyd is our tireless ARRL State Government Liaison for both the EPA &
WPA Sections. Lloyd walks the walk and knows how to get this stuff
front and center in the public’s eye for all our benefit as hams. The
public takes note of this kind of public relations triumph. Make sure
and thank Lloyd for his work when you see him at the many hamfests in PA
where he tends to show up or on the air where you will frequently find
him.
73, and I will see you on the radio.

Bob Famiglio, K3RF
ARRL Atlantic Division Director
Chairman Legal Defense Committee
Chairman ARES Subcommittee
