It isn't about sharing, it's about letting unlicensed stations rule HF.
This will affect other services and that is when the goo will hit the
blades. FM broadcasting, for instance. AM broadcasting will likely be
affected, especially those stations experimenting with digital stereo AM
broadcasting. You, like so many others, seem to think it is all about the
hams (gee, my washing machine is over-sudsing. Must be that ham down the
street). The problem is that if BPL becomes widespread, you will have
reception problems everywhere. How will the FCC ever get anyone to certify
their computers, radios, televisions, copiers, and so on, when the open air
test sites will *not* be able to tell if equipments meets FCC requirements
due to all of that garbage everywhere. OATS sites test for radiated signals
in upper HF through UHF and the whole HF range plus part of VHF will be
buried in noise. Oh, I forgot. Ship all the testing to China. Makes
sense.

out of the killfile somehow to stir the pot with the following
negativity:

You just couldnt stand not hearing from me.

One question, though - would it be too much to ask for you to perhaps
get on board with the rest of the Amateur community and work with us
to fight this issue?

Im not against the ISSUE, I think its a good move for the common man. If
Ham
Radio cant figure out how to live with sharing, and Modern Improved
Technology,
then HAM RADIO most go.



As an alternative, could I respectfully suggest that you transition to
your replacement hobby early - we've heard as much whining and
negativity as should be expected for the average group of humans to
endure....

Well Im already involved in other things, but, I will hang around to see
the
final Demise of HAM RADIO
