>FCC Comments on Broadband Over Power-Line (BPL), a probable new HF

>Please take a few minutes to read the above web page.  This BPL issue will

>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,

>Please, send in your comments to the FCC.  You can bet your bippy that the

>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.
