BOAT US GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS: Will your GPS work when you need it? ACT NOW!
Earlier this year, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gave conditional approval to a private company, LightSquared, to begin a nationwide broadband service right next to the radio spectrum used for GPS. After concerns from user groups (including BoatU.S.) the FCC required significant testing and a report for potential conflicts with aviation, cellular, navigation, and four other GPS uses before this proposal could move forward. In that June 30th report the navigation sub-team concluded “that all phases of the LightSquared deployment plan will result in widespread harmful interference to GPS signals and service and that mitigation is not possible.”

What we have made available to boaters!
We need your help on a very important matter. DPBA is nothing without its members. We are a grassroots organization, your fellow boaters, and as such we need your help to build the membership. Please help us help you:
-
Join the Dana Point Boaters Association. Please understand that getting Boaters Blast emails does not mean you are a member of the Association. Please go to Join Now or Renew Now.
-
Pass our Website link along, https://danapointboaters.org, to anyone that you think might benefit from participating in the Association.
If you CC Secretary@DanaPointBoaters.org then we will add their email address to our Boaters Blast distribution list as well as your own. (No worries if you join as your name will automatically be added to this list.)
Another thing that we urge you to consider, at any time it strikes you: Get directly involved with the Association’s efforts in any area of boating advocacy that you have an interest in or desire to help on. Maybe just stuffing envelopes (probably not the best example as most everything these days is electronic) but all member involvement helps the cause and will translate to benefit for yourself as well as the community of fellow Dana Point boaters.
One last thing, we want to hear from you! Even if you just have an question and/or opinion that you think we would benefit from hearing. It’s easy, just send an email to: DPBA Officers and you’ll be hearing back from us. We Promise.
