Oh, so "notching" is a new development, eh? Well it probably is if you're a dullard who works for a bunch of buffoons like IBM!
Maybe if Ray Blair talked the the ham radio operators (who amazingly still have clout) he'd find that we amazingly still have more knowledge and intelligence than monkeys in blue suits like him cheers Dave G0OIL (PS I work in IT. It's always my pleasure to fire IBM consultants off site. And EDS. And Accenture. And Tata.......) --- On Mon, 29/12/08, Ron Notarius W3WN <wn3...@verizon.net> wrote: From: Ron Notarius W3WN <wn3...@verizon.net> Subject: [DX-CHAT] Dissed by Infoworld?

Of interest to us is #6: BPL is Back from the Dead (see http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/12/29/53FE-tech-underreported-powerline_1.html ) Of note in the article is this paragraph: "And another recent innovation, called notching, lets the chips switch frequencies when meeting interference. This upgrade should quiet the fears of ham radio operators (who amazingly enough have still have significant clout) and others that BPL will cause problems for various radio services, says Ray Blair, IBM's head of advanced networking. " "Who amazingly enough have still have significant clout" ??? Never mind the bad English (don't they employ editors anymore? or proof readers?). I'm not sure if we should take that as an insult or a compliment. What do you think? 73 ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
