This has nothing to do with the Internet or code tapping amateurs.

It has to do with some intellectually devoid engineers challenging the
reality of the Nyquist rate and placing a device on the only radio
frequencys that can be naturally propagated through out the planet.

This group will be beaming porn wirelessly throughout the world, what
an accomplishment. They should feel proud!

The old failed logic recycled one more time; go keep track of who had
licenses before code was dropped ... eat your lotus blossoms--it always
worked before ...

The idea that BPL cam about in order to punish Hams who like Morse code
is a new one.

Now, there is the mindset which got us here in the first place, don't
you get it?

Hams are just NOT important enough to justify punishment, they simply
are holding onto a fraction of the public airwaves which can be placed
to much better use ... get real.

Define 'better.'

Actually no, I don't. A side effect of BPL might be to harm the bands
that amateurs operate on, but I can't even imagine the people who push
this merde having a thought of inconveniencing Morse code lovers.

HF is an unruly beast, and not well suited to any kind of distance
limiting needs. Years ago there were wireless home phones around 11
meters. They didn't work too well. A large part of that was HF type
problems of static, big antennas and propagation effects.

Anyone who wants to work in HF, especially digitally, will have to
reckon with those effects. The political types who promote use of HF for
this seldom understand that.

Actually, no, not everyone has to study HF to see if your argument holds
water or not.

YOU just need to see a BPL modem at work--it'll blow away any doubts you
may have as to it being suited to HS data xfer over power-lines ...
