With BPL looking like a sure thing, I now say lets dump the CW testing, and
let the CBplussers have it. How great it will be to have the CBplussers alloyed
on HF and cant talk to anyone. Maybe that was the FCC idea all along, give the
No-Coders HF, and intern with BPL here, they cant talk to anyone. GREAT IDEA..

Just how does one "alloy" the cbplussers on HF? Is there some kind of
chemical process for that?

So true, if Karl the nut is so great, he better hurry up and get busy on
striking down BPL.
It makes you wonder if the FCC in there plan to put BPL in place, saw Karl as
someone they could use to take the attention off of BPL and put it on CW.

I think its very funny, I can see it now, Captain Karl and his fruitcakes
finally get HF Phone, then find out they cant talk to anyone unless they use
CW.

Ask Ed Hare if I've been supporting him in the battle against BPL.

You mean "in their" as in "in their place" instead of "there" as in put it

Did you read his comments to the FCC? I did. Lots of good, sound, rational
stuff against BPL. Including actual firsthand accounts of the noise.

Hardly the work of a "nut", I'd say.

Not by himself. But his stuff will surely help.

I filed comments against BPL, Carl filed comments, ARRL filed comments, lots of

I can hardly wait to hear Bruce's excuse ... on the other hand, the way

No thanks necessary, Carl, you did a very good thing. I hope it has some
effect.

The code *test* debate pales in insignificance besides the threat of widespread
implementation of BPL. What good is any license or test for same if the bands
are so full of digital noise that they are mostly useless?

Also, having been without electricity for over 38 hours in the wake of
Hurricane Isabel, it seems to me that the electric energy utilities need to
focus more on their core business of providing juice and not further complicate
the operation and maintenance of their distribution systems by trying to use
them as a "broadband" data network.

(Hurricane Isabel was hardly a hurricane by the time it got here [Radnor
Township] and damage other than electrical outages was very minimal. The
electrical outages, however, were widespread and longlived.)

Don't hold yer breath, he's too full of nonsense to actually do anything
serious like comment on BPL. But don't be too hard on Bruce, Carl - according
to qrz.com, he's 305 years old.

>on the other hand, the way

AGREED! (shouting intentional)

The BPL battle is only beginning. Given Com, Abernathy's comments, the whole
thing is obviously being driven more by misguided business interests and
technically-ignorant investment than by sound engineering principles.

While we're on the subject, check out this bit of info:

"regarding the current BPL discussions you might well be interested to
visit

http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/

where whp067 (meaning "White Paper" no 67) has just appeared
providing a hell lot of the infos regarding the impacts BPL (or PLT
or PLC as it is called in Europe) does have on HF reception in a
typcal suburban or downtown area. The above web site also provides a
bulk of audio files taken within such an area where BPL was / is in
use. While the experiments were made using HF broadcast band
reception (with those really big signals there...) it is all to easy
and obvious what that would mean for any ham band reception ( you can
bet it's gonna be damn worse...)

Also, I put some files (both audio and video ones) on my web site at

http://www.qsl.net/dl5qe

regarding BPL (PLC, PLT) interferences.

The (British) Radiocommunacations Agency has a report on PLT measurements
made at Crieff at:
http://www.radio.gov.uk/topics/research/topics/emc/edcrie_2.pdf

(thanks to G0CLV for the above)

Capt Karl just hates to see his CBplussers loose out. He knows his constant
complaining to the FCC has let them sneak this end. While Karl and his
CBplusser Buddies, have been diverting the attention to giving all his
CBplussers buddies a FREE RIDE.
I think what really makes Karl upset is the fact that he now knows he has been
used by the FCC. The FCC played Karl like a fiddle.
Come on BPL let me be the first customer.
THANK GOD FOR BPL.. How about us starting a "No-Code BPL Group"?

Well, Carl just told us what he's doing to work against the threat of
BPL. Now, what are YOU doing, Bruce? Anything at all? Or are you too
busy typing "CBplusser" into what passes for an NNTP client on AOL
interface to the newsgroups to be bothered addressing anything that's
actually important to the future of ham radio?

Your personal attack on Carl is really pathetic. Next time you decide
to bite someone's head off like that, at least swallow, that way
you'll have more brains in your stomach than you seem to have inside
of your head.

Go ahead, Bruce, start one. You can be the President, CEO, chief cook
and bottlewasher, and primary spokesperson of the largest ham radio
organization in support of BPL in the entire world! Why, with your
writing skills and well-demonstarted talent for public relations,
there's no doubt in my mind that you'll manage to get BPL accorded
every bit of the acclaim it so richly deserves.

Don't forget to start a BPL conference on AOL while you're at it,
Bruce - I'm sure the pre-pubescent chatroom dwellers on AOL will grow
up at a severe disadvantage unless they have you around to lead them,
and to teach them proper spelling and grammar skills, too.

In fact, you're a shining example of the finest that ham radio has to
offer, Bruce. I'm sure everyone who reads your posts to this newsgroup
is inspired to go out and get a ham ticket just on the off chance that
someday they might be able to put your call in their logbook. If
you're an ARRL member, perhaps you should run for section manager next
time around. I'm sure the ranks of ARRL members in your section will
swell to unprecedented numbers with your leadership.
