He holds the amateur Extra Class License, and is a Life Member of ARRL, member of Texas Rifle Assoc., of the NRA and of SOWP.

Art is wellinformed as to the actions before the FCC having to do with commercial as well as amateur services. "If re-elected, I will continue to try to build a stronger amateur radio service utilizing the long experience of QCWA-ARRL members and the ARRL working in harmony. This should enhance our standing with government regulatory bodies, making them aware of the Amateur Service and of its value to the United States."
