[K3PZN-List] Send Comments on the BPL NPRM

[Al Bisasky]

This was taken from the Potomac Valley Radio Club Website:

The ARRL web site has good info on this, but I would remind everyone =
that it
doesn't take but a couple minutes to send a comment, and get your family =
and
friends who can easily understand the analogy to other environmental
pollution to do the same, by clicking on the FCC web site:

Select the Broadband over Power Line (Docket 03-104) option and then try
pasting this or something like it in your own words:

" I oppose the proposed rule changes regarding Part 15 relating to =
Broadband
over Power Line devices. The radio spectrum is a national resource and
should be protected from the pollution which BPL will inevitably cause. =
Once
lost, the present low ambient high frequency RF background can never be
regained. The burden should not be shifted to a user to locate, report =
and
demand locale-specific reductions in interference from the BPL operator. =
HF
signal levels presently allowed under Part 15, and generally transmitted =
for
short periods, are not adequate to protect against BPL emissions which =
occur
on a 24/7 basis. There is no compelling public need to add another =
broadband
system which has such negative side effects for short-wave broadcast
listeners as well as amateur radio operators and other licensed users of =
the
high frequency spectrum. I oppose all BPL operations, but at the very =
least
the maximum RF emissions by BPL operators should be greatly reduced =
below
present Part 15 permissible levels. "
