[Elecraft] short-form FCC comment site (BPL)

[Wayne Burdick]

My apologies in advance for the bandwidth (pun intended!) on this. 

And please allow me to end this thread before it even starts. I'm just the
messenger  ;)

If you have two minutes to spare and you're concerned about how Broadband over
Power Lines will affect you, visit:

Click on the BPL link. This takes you to a ONE-PAGE form that takes almost no
time to fill out. All you need to provide is your name and e-mail address, then
fill in the "comments" field. About a paragraph is all that's needed to convey
your opinion on this issue.

All users of shortwave spectrum (government, military, ham, commercial, even
marine) will suffer horrendous interference if BPL is deployed--even in a
limited way. Hams and others have occupied this portion of the E-M spectrum for
a full century in some cases, yet our concerns are falling on deaf ears (literally).
