A plea for civility

I wonder how the customers will feel about losing their access for large chunks of time. I really don't think it will ever get that far, however. If that were to happen, the BPL providers would exercise the same "money talks and big money talks loudly" leverage as they have done to get BPL approved, and thereby get the FCC to shut the Amateur Radio services down in those areas, much as the Air Force (my pre-FCC employer) is clobbering 3/4 meter band operation with their Pave Paws radar systems. I think the two situations are a little different, depending on who is the primary and secondary users of a particular frequency. I wonder if they will ban The users of 11 meters too? 5 watts is enough to disrupt BPL. I don't think that the money will talk loudly enough as the sunspot cycle picks up again. Could be wrong about that tho' And even if so, It is just poor technology, and has so many levels of possible failure. My personal opinion is that BPL will self-destruct on economic grounds if we amateurs can just hold out long enough. We agree on that, for sure. - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |
