A couple of other questions for you Keith.
BPL uses frequencies between 1.8 and 80 MHz.

Question #1: Does 27 MHz CB fall between 1.8 and 80 MHz?

Question #2: Do HF radio astronomy posts use frequencies between 1.8 and 80
MHz?

Question #3: Does WWV use frequencies between 1.8 and 80 MHz?

Question #4: Do HF aeronautical frequencies lie between 1.8 and 80 MHz?

Question #5: Do HF foreign broadcasters use frequencies between 1.8 and 80
MHz?

Question #6: Will SWLs be impacted by the answer to question #5?

Question #7: I see you provide a link to short wave. Just what do you
think short wave is? (BIG hint: HF; 3 to 30 MHz, just what is being
impacted).

Question #8: I see you provide a link to scanners. You are aware that many
scanners go down to 30 MHz or so (some lower) and even VHF frequencies to 80
MHz are affected.

Question #9: What are the frequencies occupied by the lowest channels of
television in the United States? (Hint, channel two runs between 54 MHz and
60 MHz). Do these frequencies lie between 1.8 and 80 MHz?


Now think about those questions for a while.

These are just simple starter questions; it gets worse the deeper you dig.
Now go back to your room and shut the padded door

Ham Radio and SWL is old technology and BPL will benefit millions of
consumers
that want broadband Internet access. It is not fair to stop new technology
because 100,000 people that are active ham radio operators want to hang on
to
old 1844 technology called morse code.
If ham radio had millions of active HF operators then it could be argued
that
their bands should be protected in some fashion. But 100,000 vs 130
Million
households shows that the smaller group should lose their HF privileges
for
better technology. Ham radio has been replaced by the Internet.
