Hello All.


You may wish to read the article on page 20 of the September 2007
issue of POPULAR MECHANICS. It discusses a new wireless approach for
the transmission of electricity within your home. The article is
entitled "Electricity Unplugged." The frequency being transmitted in
10 MHz. Does that sound familiar to you?


Yes. It is a joke.

Dear Telamon,

If it is indeed a joke on someone's part, it is not funny to me. Were
this technology, with the parameters mentioned in the article, to
become commonplace, that would mean the end of shortwave radio
reception.

Best,

Joe
