Visit the FCC ECFS system and see who actually filed comments on 03-104 (BPL).
Particularly among the regulars here on rrap. I did, KB3EIA did...anybody else?


I did, at least their website said I did! I didn't go back and go through all the
gyrations
later to see if it actually did show up there, but I did post my comments to the
EFCS page


I didn't post any comments. First because I was all ate up by other
matters and missed the deadline. But even if I had submitted a comment
it would simply parrot a zillion other similar comments. What good
would that do? The FCC is not conducting a referendum on BPL. I
seriously doubt that a large number of comments by us weenie private
citizens has anywhere as much effect on the FCC as do the the few
professionally crafted comments submitted by the heavy hitters in the
biz such as the ARRL and the IEEE. Imlay and Hare have a whole bunch
more clout with the FCC than any of us have combined so I bought a
$100 money order yesterday and it'll be on it's way to Newington
tomorrow.


Prolly the better move. Actually I plan to wait until the lawsuit is filed-yep, after a
close reading
of the filing of the United Power Line Council, which HQ is located no more than 3
blocks from the White House on Pennsylvania Ave, I truly believe this is a done deal,
and the only way out will be
the route I lambasted last time ARRL did it- I think they'll have to sue theFCC over
this one, if even that does any good.
