[Antennas] BPL

[Chris Boone]

Agreed....Bush is 100% for BPL and with his appointee, Michael (I don't
care about the public; only money) Powell, forget that....If Kerry is
really for BPL (and perhaps he is but doesn't realize how much it will
screw up the on air technology right now like TV 2-6, FM radio, HF
radio, CB(there is a LARGE number!), and we measly hams, then someone
should..if he DOES know about BPL and is for it, then neither of the
candidates are worth it in this sense...(and I have not liked either
anyway...WHAT happened to this being a country of CHOICE?? All I see
lately is left or right, 1 or the other.....DemoCRAP or RepubliCON....Am
I missing something here or has this country LOST its freedom of
CHOICE...MORE than two that is! :)

(now off my soapbox...but I am NOT endorsing either one! How can you
tell when a politician is LYING? Their lips move!!)
