[Hallicrafters] Re: Wall Street Journal Article Putting Down Hams

[Gary Maples]

I agree with Ken completely.  The article was not exceptionally 
negative to ham radio.   Now, if you believe that BPL is the 
spawn of satan and only the most BPL negative article would be 
acceptable, than I am sure you would see the WSJ article as being 
negative to ham radio.  To a degree the article states both sides 
of the issue.   Actually, its nice to see an article about ham 
radio in a major publication,  and it does bring public attention 
to our issues with BPL.

BTW, my comments above should not be construed as being 
supportive of BPL.  I am most strongly opposed to it.  I did take 
the time to file a negative comment with the FCC when the comment 
period was open.  Did you?
