One cannot express the gratitude and appreciation to Jim, Wade and the
others who contributed to the success of the BPL investigations here in
Cedar Rapids.  Ed Hare in his comments below indicate how their work 
affects us all.....

ARRL gets only part of the credit here.  The dedicated and correct work
of the local hams in Cedar Rapids was the most important component to
this success.  ARRL supported that work, and provided a jump start with
the FCC, but as more of these cases develop, the success stories will
come from those that are most directly affected. re are a few of us
working this issue within ARRL, but hundreds of thousands of amateurs out
there. Guess which group can get the most done! 

Let me publicly extend my congratulations and thanks for the volunteerism
that we saw coming out of Cedar Rapids!  Every one of us benefitted from
their work and I, for one, appreciate the time they spent to help amateur
radio.
