Hi,

I have been reading a lot (as has lots of hams) about this BPL technology
and some say it will wipe out HF.  Well, I have finally (it took awhile)
found a company actually offering the technology.  It is the PP&L (Penn
Power and Light) in Allentown, PA.  They told me on the phone it was about
the speed of DSL and it was using the power lines to offer the Internet.

So, what about the hams in Allentown?  What is your experience?  Is it
causing interference?

Sorry if this is off topic but if DX'ing is wiped out by BPL - wow!!

I have heard the ARRLs view and saw their demo of a mobile station under the
electric wires somewhere - but I don't think it said where.  But now I know
that Allentown PA PP&L is offering this to customers.  SO - can we find some
dx'ers there with first hand experience?
