... Go and read this BPL related press release: http://www.uplc.org/?cbr_v=dcb&nt=tr...nten tbrowser Pay particular attention to paragraph three! Several people I've heard from are also emailing their comments on this release to the email contact address included in this press release. We expect that she should have a pretty full email box come Monday morning! 73, Jeff Maass K8ND Being a non-US amateur this really doesn't concern me, but after reading the media release I couldn't resist having may say on her comments about amateurs! My reply to her is copied below. Cheers Martin, VK2UMJ ---------------------- Dear Ms Patterson Whilst I am not a US citizen and so the current issue of BPL in the USA does not concern me, I am what you incorrectly referred to in your media release as a"armchair amateurs that still use vacuum tube transmitters" and as such, I feel an apology from you to all amateurs, worldwide, is warranted. Firstly, it is obvious that you are merely an "armchair media officer" that has absolutely no idea or concept of what amateur radio is, what equipment we use, and what knowledge we have. Your comments are defamatory to the entire hobby, worldwide, and are proof that the UPLC hav absolutely no interests other than their own profit margin. It seems that 'truth' is a concept that is lost on people such as yourself. The level of your own technical inadequacy is further proven by your comment in the release: "Moreover, these systems will incorporate adaptive interference mitigation capabilities that will effectively remedy any interference that might result to fixed and mobile operations in the High Frequency (HF) band (1.7-80 MHz).". Elementary school level research will tell you that the High Frequency (HF) band actually only covers from 3.0 MHz to 30 MHz, so again your own "armchair media officers that still use kindergarten research material" have shown their level of incompetence. Whilst I do not believe you are mature enough to admit your errors and apologise to the international amateur radio community for your misguided and inaccurate stereotyping, I can only hope that those in power will see your media release for the inaccurate, defamatory and poorly reasearched garbage that it is. Yours most disrespectfully Martin Howells Australian Amateur Station VK2UMJ |
