In addition to QRP, BPL could wreak havoc with mobile services -- here in NJ
(JCPL is part of GPU -- GPU is part of First Energy -- what a marriage --
the 8/14/03 disaster coupled with Three Mile Island!!) there are some places
where the interference from power line connectors, poorly maintained
transmission just crackles. Fortunately BPL is unlikely here due to Comcast
or Verizon's DSL.

Hi,

I am not sure who would want to answer this, but I have a question about
homebrewing. I had been doing it for about a year until I had heard
about how BPL was going to completely obliterate all possibility of weak
signal work.

I had therefore stopped my hobby since the start of this year and
started reading the ARRL articles re BPL's progress through the FCC.

In your regular QRP work, have you or others began experiencing massive
interference from BPL? Are there still HF bands which will still remain
worthwhile to use, if so, which ones?

Thanks,
