[CW] FCC's Attitude toward BPL!

Sun, 28 Sep 2003 19:28:36 +0200

Hello John and others,

regarding the current BPL discussions you might well be interested to 
visit 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/ 

where whp067 (meaning "White Paper" no 67) has just appeared 
providing a hell lot of the infos regarding the impacts BPL (or PLT 
or PLC as it is called in Europe) does have on HF reception in a 
typcal suburban or downtown area. The above web site also provides a 
bulk of audio files taken within such an area where BPL was / is in 
use. While the experiments were made using HF broadcast band 
reception (with those really big signals there...) it is all to easy 
and obvious what that would mean for any ham band reception ( you can 
bet it's gonna be damn worse...)

Also, I put some files (both audio and video ones) on my web site at

http://www.qsl.net/dl5qe

regarding BPL (PLC, PLT) interferences.

It should be well alarming everybody if an international and well 
known broadcaster like the British BBC sees the necessity to address 
a broader public to inform about the detrimental interferences that 
(might?!) be our possible future as HF users. If the "Megawatt Boys" 
are afraid enough (like BBC), we as hams should be much more afraid 
anyhow...
