Update! Filing FCC comment against BPL
The information about filing a FCC BPL comment on the ARRL web page was
outdated. There is a new case number that should be used. 04-37 is the correct case number. It only takes 5 minutes to file a comment with the FCC against BPL. http://vambo.org/a/ |

This looks FAKE, so you may want to go to the FCC site directly instead of
using his link. Message-ID looks forged as well Could be gathering addresses for spamming.

The link on the guy's web site to file a comment IS the FCC's web site: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi The instructions on the ARRL web site to file a comment take you to the exact same web site. ARRL sez: Goto http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/ and click SUBMIT A FILING which takes you to: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi Turn in your badge, Dick Tracy, you are getting paranoid in your old age. Anybody who wants to send HAM SPAM can get thousands of email addresses from QRZ.com, no need to collect them one at a time by having people fill out forms. 73, Jim KH2D |

Use of strange urls is hardly confined to spammers. |

Use of strange urls is hardly confined to spammers. You should look at Linux or Mac so you can regain the use of your computer. You should own your computer and not vis-versa! ;-) Here is the webpage in plain ASCII text with a link to the FCC website. Please, making a comment will only take a few minutes. /**********************************************/ The FCC has extended the comment period for BPL. If you value radio, this may be the last and only chance to have your voice heard to stop BPL from destroying your hobby. The FCC has extended the comment period for BPL. It is VERY simple to file a FCC comment. Click the link below and enter 04-37 in box #1 (proceeding number) and fill in the blanks. The simplest way to comment is to type your comment into the box on the bottom of the form. Sample comment below. http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi If you see fit, please post this to as many portent groups as possible because numbers count! More info at http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/02/12/5/?nc=1 If you can't think of any thing to type or wish to make this as painless as possible, you can cut-n-paste the comment I typed below. /******************************/ In Writing, I wish to persuade the FCC from allowing BPL to be implemented. The destruction or at the least, deterioration of the shortwave bands is not only a violation of ITU laws that protect international broadcasters from interference and jamming, it will be destroying many people's life hobby. Amateur radio will be reduced to users with high-power amplifiers and large antennas. Emergency communications will be hindered to levels directly responsible for the loss of life. Also, this will hinder military HF comms reducing national security There are many technologies that make BPL unnecessary. BPL will never be able to carry the high bandwidth demands for mass distribution of video much less the up-and-coming HDTV. Thank You! |

While the whole time they spend more and more of their efforts and energy fighting off their inferior OS's security holes, we that use the "non-standard" systems can simply do our work and play. - Mike - |

Use of strange urls is hardly confined to spammers. Well, maybe we can learn something here. What do you see that's "strange" about the URL above ? Looks like a subdomain of http://www.fcc.gov to me..... 73, Jim KH2D |

The post that started this thread is as follows (from June 12): quote The information about filing a FCC BPL comment on the ARRL web page was outdated. There is a new case number that should be used. 04-37 is the correct case number. It only takes 5 minutes to file a comment with the FCC against BPL. http://vambo.org/a/ end quote Somebody else questioned it first, wondering why the FCC URL wasn't just posted; then somebody brought up paranoia. I seconded the paranoia and I stand by it, at least in principle. vambo.org, searched on google, gave me no obvious ham radio links but a little digging identifies a Colorado ham associated with the site. (By "digging", I mean google & qrz.com; no hacker weapons here -- I'd probably shoot my eye out :-) 73, John KD6VKW PS: While I was composing this, Norton Internet Security intercepted a trojan attempt. Who's paranoid? I am. |
