"Mike Coslo" wrote in message . .. Carl R. Stevenson wrote: I would advise against a mass-mailing campaign to the Commissioner's direct e-mail address. The last time the FCC Commissioners got "mail-bombed" by hams all it did was PO them. They have staff and a comment/reply comment process ... which have been used and will continue to be used. ARRL has done an EXCELLENT job on their technical materials and the video is a very compelling demonstration of just how bad the interference really is. We are just at the "Notice of Inquiry" stage now ... please don't flame the FCC (and particularly the Commissioners) ... that will just cause more harm than good. I believe that NTIA will come down hard on our side on this. The US Govt agencies that they represent have a LOT of HF channels that they use and will want to protect ... Agreed, Carl. I suspect that by the end of this sad tale, many amateurs will think much better of the NTIA. Rather than mass emails, right now an interesting and very good experiment might be to do a little HF direction finding.Trace the "mystery signals" to their source. Write it up in a reasonably good fashion, and it might make for some more damning evidence against BPL. - Mike KB3EIA - Mike, You don't have to DF ... you can clearly tell just by listening when you're approaching, in, and leaving the BPL area ... and you can see the couplers they use to get the signal around the transformers.

I agree that it wouldn't be a difficult thing to find. I just think that if an amateur or group were to take an approach that didn't start out "I can hear the BPL intereference 60 miles away", it might have more impact. Something like " On such and such date, a strong interference showed up on such and such bands. As the interference did not do away, a local group of amateurs and myself decided to trace the interference to it's source. Then an outline of the DF method, and finally decribing the cause after finding it. The point is that if people can easily trace out the interference from far away, it hammers home that it isn't really a local problem. - Mike KB3EIA - |
