[PVRCNC] questions for FCC chief?

[NX9T@aol.com]

I have personally visited one of the Progress Energy BPL test sights in 
southern Wake county.  I can assure you that this technology IS causing significant 
interference on our precious HF bands.  During my visit last Saturday 
morning(during the time you would be trying to run EU)  both 10m and 12m bands were 
completely!!! filled with QRN in the S7-9 signal strength range.  Interference 
from the single identified BPL "transmitting" device was causing QRN for 
approximately 1/2 to 1 mile away.

My observation was limited to about 30 minutes but there was no question in 
my mind as we drove away(K4HA, K4NYS, N4XD and myself NX9T) that this is a very 
real threat to ham radio as we know it.  

I offer this information  in case you are wondering about a question to ask 
the FCC Chairman who will be visiting Raleigh tomorrow(Friday) as mentioned in 
AD4L's earlier email.  You can email your questions to the address mentioned 
in Pete's message, which is:  askmike@newsobserver.com 

73 and GL this weekend to all who will be out play'n.
