Unfortunately, everybody knows that BPL will hinder HF.

Will it hinder coherent CW and PACTOR II?

Fill the gas tank and wine cooler and take an HF mobile rig into a BPL
"test area" and tune around like I did and come to your own
conclusions Cecil. My direct experience with the stuff clearly
indicates the utter destruction of HF radio within large radii
anywhere it's deployed.

Luv the "we need to cooperate . . yadda, yadda, with the power
utilities . . yadda, yadda . ." sugestions. Yeah right: I've also
"interfaced" with a power utility or two in my time on the general
topic of "Broadband RF interference: . . Might as well have tried to
cut "mitigation" deals with Al Queda.

The good news however is that it's basically an artifact technolgy,
it's time will never come. In the meanwhile we have to keep leaning on
the sumbitches so keep shipping monies into the ARRL Spectrum Defense
Fund.
