Gosh, those are just a few questions people may encounter, and I am

now going to be lambasted for thinking about the majority.



No, I think you will be lambasted for not doing your homework and
understanding the issue.

"BPL" is an unlicensed service which proposes that it be allowed to
inject RF (radio signals) into the AC distribution grid. This RF will
extend across the MF/HF spectrum, and up into the lower VHF spectrum,
and the power lines will act not as a transmission line, but as an
antenna. The interference will potentially affect EVERY RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE (not just hams) who use the affected spectrum.


That includes Homeland defense, defense, broadcasting, lots of people
besides hams.


Well then, if it's *that* bad, I'm sure it'll be defeated, eh?
