>FCC Comments on Broadband Over Power-Line (BPL), a probable new HF
>interference source, are due by July 7. For the complete story and
>guidance on filing comments, see
>http://www.arrl.org/news/features/2003/06/19/2/?nc=1. This is an important
>issue!!

>Please take a few minutes to read the above web page. This BPL issue will
>more than likely kill amateur radio as we know it. Forget QRP
>operations... forget weak signal work... forget working any new countries.
>This BPL could very easily drive your noise level up to a steady S-8. And,
>this BPL would be run by your local utility company. How many of you have
>tried to get your local utility company to fix it's noisy power lines?
>They can't even do that, and it is mandated by the FCC! If they can't even
>fix their power line noise now, what makes you think that they will care if
>BPL takes you off the air? This is just another way for private companies
>to make tons of money at the cost of Hams.
>
>Please, send in your comments to the FCC. You can bet your bippy that the
>BPL companies have submitted their comments. I read that only about 1000
>comments have been received on this. That is a shame. How many hams are
>there out there? This will effect all of us, at least if you are active on
>the radio. There ought to be 100,000 comments from the ham community. I
>don't care if you hate the ARRL, this is a ham issue, not an ARRL issue.
>So please, even if you are a non-technical ham or even a newly licensed
>ham, send in your comments to the FCC.

>Thanks for your time...
