[DX] ARRL BPL Video

Mon, 11 Aug 2003 21:37:26 -0400

I have to make the correction here, it will not affect AM broadcast =
radio,
cordless telephones, personal home monitors, TV, or any other device =
that
receives or transmits RF outside the range of ~2 MHz to ~80 MHz. There =
are
probably a few cordless phones out there that use the 50 MHz range but =
most
are well above that now at 900 MHz or higher. Here locally the utility
company use 70 MHz over the power lines to throw switches within their =
grid
circuit and many utility companies are doing this without any =
interference
issues. I am very concerned that this could easily get out of hand =
though.

Nothing like statistical babble to not say anything and to insite others =

frustrated by no answer.

BPL is being tested at specific locations.  It is not in a full =
operational=20
mode and necessarily near the public.  What a foolish move to place it =
near

people it would bother until after they get it approved.

BPL will come to every power line in America if approved.  That =

means that it is going to effect every amateur, in fact every citizen.  =

By any chance, are you a dfense lawyer for a power company.  Your =

attitude is just what I would expect someone looking to protect them =
would
take.
