Nice!

One thing to note...
They tried notching out amat bands (without success)
but were going to leave all the other HF bands trashed.

With the completion of this trial, I am of the opinion that there is a unique
opportunity for amateur radio to cooperate with the power companies and build a
bridge to solve and/or resolve the RF mitigation challenges.

I am also of the opinion that it would be a profound mistake to take a standard
alpha or beta test--successfully completed earlier than expected-- and
interpret it as some 'victory' to 'kill BPL'. This is far from it; and if some
vocal, minority of hams take that approach, it will only render their voice as
irrelevant in the ongoing process. It will, again in my opinion, look very bad
for ham radio.

Time to build bridges into the future. Surely you agree.
