[ARRL-OK] BPL Interference to Ham Radio

If this is going to be such a detriment to 2-80 MHZ, maybe we should make=20
sure the other services who share the spectrum know about this as well.

Government agencies such as DOD, FAA, and FEMA all carry significant clout=20
with the FCC.  Many of these agencies spend billions on HF/VHF communication=
=20
systems.  It would be beneficial to us for them to join in on this fight.

If you know a military frequency manager, HF system manager, or a civilian=20
project manager or a state or county emergency manager, pass information abo=
ut=20
this to them. However, don't tell them that it is bad for Ham Radio. Tell th=
em=20
what it will do to their system. Lets put some of their calories to work for=
=20
us.
