You probably "had" it all along. That is exactly what
my rattling has been all about. I just don't see this
fight being won (from the amateur radio perspective)
and, I think there a "ways around" BPL interference.
So, where do we spend the energy? Before, or after
and, on what? I'd rather think that the way to fight
BPL and win (for sure) is to get busy designing, testing
and implementing ways around it, *before* it becomes
the major issue that it will--because, like I said, I
don't see this fight being won. Way, way too much
commercial interest--the very people that feed the
pockets of the politicians.


Oh, I think the odds of stopping BPL are sharply against us. In the end,
unless there are some shocking results in the studies being done, we'll have
to learn to deal with it. Hopefully our existing equipment will help us do
so. If not, we'll have to look for new technology. To do that, we need the
results of those studies. If a new solution is needed, I hope it is found
before BPL is widespread.
