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 Approved By Reckless FCC
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.
