BPL strikes another win ...

Interesting that you mention that. Some of our good friends in Tasmania started a FUD campaign to scare ordinary electricity consumers about the electromagnetic raidation hazard of electric blankets when they were BPL 'enhanced'. Good grief. The answer is to power them with DC, and tell 'em that it will serve as a magnet, thereby allowing magnetism's great healing properties. Could sell little boxes with diodes in them. Maybe a crystal or two for harmonic hegemony and celestial peace too.... ;^) There is some steady, sound engineering / scientific work going on to discover and reveal the impact of BPL, it is small in scale but IMHO credible and ongoing. Uninformed and redneck comment from the amateur community makes the job just that much harder. I find much of the commentary very uninformed. Much of this has to do with the Digital folks not understanding the RF folks, and vice versa. Especially alarming is the digital folks not understanding that a high speed digital signal is for all intents and purposes an RF signal. It isn't 1's and 0's any more, it is an RF signal until it gets into the computer. Of course, the RF savants have a hard time understanding things like "Whaatya mean Vista dropped my IP address, and the only cure is to reboot. It's been working for three days now - it just couldn't suddenly quit. Electronics doesn't work like that!" At that point, I offer them the choice of being right, or getting things working. - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |
