Don't worry about BPL. The ARRL, as with Morse Code, is making
a mountain out of a mole hill. If the military isn't worried about its HF
assets, why should Hams be worried?

And how, exactly, do we know the military ISN'T worried about
this?

Common sense alone would dictate that no military source in its
right mind would come out openly opposed to BPL. That'd be no different
from putting up a big billboard saying "To Jam US Military
Communications, Simply Switch On BPL" or something similar.

There are already some heavy hitters (ARINC for one -- or didn't
you know that commercial aircraft flying overseas routes make broad use
of HF?) fighting BPL deployment because it does indeed interfere with
their equipment. That creates more than an annoyance, especially in
ARINC's case -- it becomes a safety issue.

I'm waiting and watching on the whole affair. I don't think anyone
will know for certain how bad things are going to get until BPL starts
to go into deployment. Once the military, and other commercial HF/VHF-
using services, see how much noise they get from power grids so
equipped, I predict it'll get shut down quicker than you can say
'Marconi.'
