Re: [IRCA] BAD NEWS, DXers! BPL Approved By Reckless FCC



Yada-yada-yada,
I am not paranoied, BUT,  I understand the concern. There is nothing wrong with being on our toes, and watching for a possible demise to the radio waves as we know it. Licensed Ham operators have seen a disruption of it in certain areas and have (supposedly) been at the forefront to support all the radio waves.  We can start a riot among ourselves as 'receivers', but we must support ourselves, all of ourselves, as guardians of the airwaves. Local station listeners and DX station reception are really two different situations. Most of the population doesn't have one i-ota of a clue about amateur radio or SW/BCB listener/DX'ers. We are on the fringes of the radio waves and the average person won't be bothered by BPL or any other interference. Push for a positive solution. Who has heard BPL interference first hand? Not myself. Sure I'm worried. My main concern today is... what was it, exactly, I heard as an ID on 1230 AM yesterday???? Dont draw any conclusions and think positive. If you have a solution, let us know.

A reply was received from Eric - see below. My comments
 
Eric:
 
(1) I have never supported either IBOC or BPL. Why would you say that?
 
(2) You've merely repeated your claim for the nth time when you say AM is subject to the same interference. I'm awaiting some real information.
 
(3) I've followed the ARRL web site since the beginning. There's nothing there that says BPL is a problem for MW as best I know. If you know of some specific data there that says BPL is a MW problem, please let us know instead of just giving a link to a web site which has tons of information. A pointer to arrl.org really doesn't provide any information to us.

Chuck,
 
You should not be supporting destructive technologies like BPL and IBOC-DAB. What I am saying is that the same things that interfere with HF broadcasting also interferes with MW broadcasting. AM broadcasts will be subject to the same interference as HF broadcasts from BPL service.
 
Please refer to the ARRL Web site; they have testing information on BPL. Go to http://www.arrl.org/  What the FCC did was ignore the people.

BPL will cause HARMFUL INTERFERENCE to the AM BCB by putting it's buzz (which BPL has been proven to emit on the AM and SW bands) on the AM broadcast band. This interference is unacceptable...and must be eliminated. We have to be politically active to eliminate both the menaces of BPL and IBOC.
