Thanks. How does this new FCC proposal for BPL? that some or many of
you are opposing and that i read about on another newsgroup affect the
amateur radio operators?

Certain forms of BPL could render HF operations difficult or
impossible. There's a strong concern in the amateur-radio and SWL
communities that [1] BPL could kill HF ham operations in many areas,
[2] the manufacturers of the equipment, and the prospective users of
it are being less than fully honest about its possible effects and its
economic benefits, and [3] that the FCC's current political makeup
makes it quite possible that the FCC will turn a semi-blind eye to
actual interference problems caused by BPL operations, and will refuse
to protect licensed operators against interference as their legal
mandate requires.

How it will all actually work out, remains to be seen.
