avoiding the ham bands won't protect the other users of HF.
NTIA and its USG "clients" will, hopefully, be one of our strongest
allies ... we should not take a "protect us and the heck with everyone
else" approach ... to do so would dillute our potential support.


I saw a report yesterday to the effect that some AM stations
were being wiped out by BPL noise. The number of people
needing their daily fix of Dr Laura and Rush PooBah easily
outnumber the ARRL membership, so this is good news for us.

Sure,
What I do not understand is that anybody with a scientific education can see
easily: big radiating short-wave antenna will transmit signals all over the
earth, so should be unlawful by any means as it will not be limited to
polluting the ether in the US of A but the globe.
Anyway, I think the governing power never made a big issue of that
(radiation fallout etc was never kept inside the frontiers either and the
cancer rate keeps going up! Guess twice why)
Don't really see what international goodwill in your rules means nowadays.

BTW BPL experiments in several places in the E.U. showed clearly the
technique is not up to standard even if some results are kept secret too.

So just keep arguing counter and I hope every ham at least writes just one
letter to his representative in the governing body, imho the only way to
make any impact.
