Subject: [drakelist] BPL Again


Thought this post might be of interest, only if you use HF, of course.

Tomorrow, 2/1/04, the FCC will hold a public meeting where it is likely 
they will
introduce an NPRM which if implemented will relax limitations on Part 15
devices between 2 and 80 Mhz. This in order to facilitate the development
and implementation of access BPL.

If the Commission adopts a Report & Order on this matter we can kiss HF
Communications goodbye ! Only the hearty souls willing to build amps
around 8171s and 8281s will be able to make heads or tails out of the
ensuing mess.

The FCC's Meeting will take place at 9:30 AM EST (1430 UTC) and will be
streamed at: http://www.fcc.gov/realaudio/

Disseminate this email far and wide. If you subscribe to any other email

the station !
