You know very well, or you should, that the ARRL send

And I applaud them for that effort (that's why I'm a member). However, it
is one report in a pile of reports submitted by various companies, all
showing exactly the opposite conclusion.

And they're all demonstrably lying thru their teeth. Ya can drive a
Kenworth thru the holes in their explanations of how BPL "won't hurt
nobody".


The ARRL didn't give the FCC a
thing to hang their hat on (a single "ah-ha" that proves those other reports
wrong). Instead, it simply contradicts them.

The ARRL submission is the *only* by-the-numbers engineering study on
record so far and it has the BPL proponents in a royal snit. They're
*not* brushing it off by any means, they're vigorously attacking it,
they know they have a battle on their hands so don't underestimate the
ARRL's ability to be a spoiler far out of proportion to it's political
and/or financial clout. David did take out Goliath, etc. Technical
submissions are not over either, the NTIA is gonna weigh in eventually
which could very well be the slam dunk BPL killer.


If you want to change the thinking at the FCC. Then writting
your congressman is the ONLY way to do it. Since the
congress controls their purse strings.


Oh, I just wish it was that simple.


The only other alternative would be to take it to court. Make
use of the green peace bunch to sue for the destruction of a
natural resource, the HF spectrum. etc.. Any port in a storm.


A resource controlled by the federal government, which means very few
courts would likely to step in.
