Too little to late. Millions of consumers and businesses will benefit from
BPL, we can not as a nation let 100,000 morse code diehards prevent progress.
The ARRL might as well as filed that brief in the FCC garbage bin. Besides the
Commissioners think it is great technology. There isn't anyone standing up for
ham radio and talking about morse code as the leading technology.

Snip All these
people
yakking here are US citizens with (I think) one exception. snip

You probably mean me. I am not a US citizen, I'm British, but I live in
the USA. Larry has said that he used to be G0L something or other. Of
course that doesn't prove he's British, but it's not renounceable, so if
he ever was then he's stuck with it, whether or not he's a US citizen.

In the conext of my point Alun, some of the countries that will
apparantly keep the code requirement are not those who we would expect
to post to this group, are out of the way, and hard to drum up a lot of
interest for change in the typical reader or ham for that matter.


A lot of people thought that Germany would keep the code test, and yet
they look like being number three to get rid of it (that is, they will be,
barring a surprise announcement by some other country before their
effective date)..

It will be pretty hard to convince a lot of hams here in the USA
or say
even the UK that they should join an organization that is trying to get
ride of the Morse code requirement in say Russia.


No doubt

Nothing meant about your opinions or right to post here.

I didn't think you did mean that, I was just wondering who you meant

Can you REALLY understand any of the technical details in there?


How about putting you brain in gear before operating your mouth next time.

How about getting a brain that isn't all emotion?

Alun:

I am a U.S. citizen by birth. I lived in the U.K. for two years while serving
in the U.S. Air Force. I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall, and held the call
sign G0LYW. That was from 1989 to 1991. I had a great time there.

Actually, it's doubtful that many people will benefit. The denser neighborhoods
already have DSL and/or cable. Will BPL be faster or cheaper? No!

Yesterday I got a flyer from an outfit offering unlimited DSL, long distance
and local calling for under $90/month. Can BPL beat that?

121 pages, much of it engineering analysis showing how much interference
could
be expected in a typical amateur situation.

Roger that Jim. Looks like the 'useless league' is doing a good thing.

Yup. Do you know any other amateur radio organization that could or would put
together an engineering analysis of that level in such a short time? I don't.
