For sure, they wouldn't stand for today's BPL stupidity and
nonsense.

Troll for Phil, he'll explain it . . . !

Please help me out (explain) on the meaning of the last comment, Brian.

Phil is an EE+LLD who has lurked in this group for years and who spent
28 years with the FCC. He knew the "old FCC" well and has bemoaned the
decline of the influence of the technically adroit within the FCC any
number of times via his posts in this NG. If you catch him in mood to
do so he'll "explain" his views on the matter for you. He's very droll
and is always a good read.

Some of my favorite "Philisms":

"The micturition contest will be in evaluating the terms "seriously
degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts". What is "seriously"?
How much is "repeatedly"?

It will ultimately come down to whose lawyer can shout louder and
longer and whether the FCC wants to support amateur radio or BPL.

We are very lucky so far that some provider/power utility hasn't told
Riley to go fly a trombone when a warning letter is issued."

"The first question that I always ask an opposition witness is
swaigned to elicit his/her expertise or standing in the matter. Then
we know up front whether or not the individual is (forgive the
technical lawyer jargon) talking through a paper a**hole."

"The two things that are guaranteed to light my rocket are non-lawyers
playing lawyer and non-engineers playing engineer...."
