Everyone,
should click on these links and watch these videos from the BPL in
Europe. Forward them to our friend in Washington, Miss Kathleen Abernathy.

Hello John and others,
regarding the current BPL discussions you might well be interested to
visit
http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/
where whp067 (meaning White Paper no 67) has just appeared
providing a hell lot of the infos regarding the impacts BPL (or PLT
or PLC as it is called in Europe) does have on HF reception in a
typcal suburban or downtown area. The above web site also provides a
bulk of audio files taken within such an area where BPL was / is in
use. While the experiments were made using HF broadcast band
reception (with those really big signals there...) it is all to easy
and obvious what that would mean for any ham band reception ( you can
bet it's gonna be damn worse...)
Also, I put some files (both audio and video ones) on my web site at
http://www.qsl.net/dl5qe
regarding BPL (PLC, PLT) interferences.
It should be well alarming everybody if an international and well
known broadcaster like the British BBC sees the necessity to address
a broader public to inform about the detrimental interferences that
(might?!) be our possible future as HF users. If the Megawatt Boys
are afraid enough (like BBC), we as hams should be much more afraid
anyhow...

Attention All Amateurs...
ARRL Rebukes FCC Commissioner's BPL-Related Broadband Nirvana
Remarks
(Sep 25, 2003) -- The ARRL has strongly objected to FCC Commissioner
Kathleen Q. Abernathy's suggestion that Broadband over Power Line
(BPL) technology will contribute to what she described as broadband
Nirvana. Addressing the United Powerline Council's annual conference
September 22 in Arlington, Virginia, Abernathy expressed unabashed
enthusiasm for BPL and recommended a combination of regulatory
restraint and the elimination or substantial modification of existing
rules as steps along the path to Enlightenment. In a terse response
faxed today on behalf of the League's 155,000 members, ARRL Chief
Executive Officer David Sumner, K1ZZ, asserted that Abernathy
overlooked some significant issues in her Nirvana analogy.
YOU CAN EMAIL MISS ABERNATHY AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS AND I URGE
EVERYONE TO DO SO.
