Excellent response Kim. I also agree that, as a member of the ARRL, I want the ARRL to focus their resources, energies, and monies in protecting the amateur radio spectrum. If the FCC wants to trash the rest of the usable spectrum with BPL, including those used by other agencies in their family, it's up to those families to take their beef to the FCC and fight their own "battles". I see no logic to the ARRL fighting everyone's battles. Those other agencies need to stand and make loud vocal notice of their intentions to the FCC and BPL providers.
