[NLRS] ARRL and BPL

Fri, 13 Feb 2004 20:25:20 -0600

The so-called "tacit" approval was an acknowledgement by somebody at the
ARRL that a specific implementation of BPL by a CA. company may provide less
interference than the current hack process being deployed in the east.  This
CA. company was using 2.4ghz or so and the theory was that it set up a near
field eddy around the electric wire and followed the wire to the next
repeater.  I am paraphrasing from memory here so don't hold me to this but I
will dig up this article and get a link posted here. 78mhz at this band has
less ramifications to the hobby as a whole and all the other licensed legacy
communications from 2mhz through 1.2ghz due to harmonics and mixes.

As for the ARRL,  I am a life member and I don't always agree with various
decisions but they are only organization in the US vigorously, consistently
and professionally defending the hobby and it's highly valuable frequency
spectrum. They understand the finesse of the lobby process which has allowed
them to perform well against big money.
