Not good at all. Besides, I've gotten led off-topic - not good at all.

Some folks with opposite and contrary personal agendas WILL
do that! :-)

I have figured it out, Len. The problem is we are dropping the Morse
requirements. Dang, now my washing machine is going to over-suds again

Har!

However, BPL should help the situation. If BPL is going to reduce power
line noise (according to power companies), it should reduce my washer
over-sudsing since it runs from the mains. LOL.

There ya go! :-)

But, speaking seriously on BPL. A Cedar Rapids ham group got
motivated and really organized for a measurement of a small
BPL trial installation in Cedar Rapids, IA. [the city may be a
familiar one as Collins Radio is located there]

Darn good Comment under docket 03-47 under 21 June 2004 in
the FCC ECFS. First part is long at about 1.3 MB, being the
certified by PE test report, second part is shorter, the text
comment itself.

I will give that Cedar Rapids group a large hand of applause for
their effort. Complete and to the point.
