[K3PZN-List] Send Comments on the BPL NPRM

[James Nitzberg]

Thank you for the Post, Al.

I just filed my comments - it was quite simple and
only took about 5 minutes to personalize my thoughts
based upon the starting point you provided.

I would urge everyone in our club to make comments -
otherwise we may all look forward to 10db/9 QRN levels
on a regular basis, and unhappy neighbors when we
destroy their internet connection.

73,
