| Let it die...
Please let this piece of vaporware crap die...please...it makes HAMS cry. It also makes bricks of shortwave radios for any shortwave radio fans. BPL is not a solution for last mile. Suck it up and lay the fiber. Once its laid thats it...just maintenance. Or use wireless...real licensed wireless...like a WISP or WiMax(not clearwire). |

Re: Potential ?? I Think I Hear The interference Already....
"utilities aren't exactly thrilled "....that's an understatement. I could only imagine the grief in trying to get a knowledgeable BPL CSR from ComEd.
Does that then mean that they would bundle prices with the amount of electricity used?
Or ask you to keep internet usage down on hot days?
Oh..the possibilities!

| I Thought...
2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 was the year of powerline broadband. I guess I'll have to go back into the BBR archives and look for the previous postings. I am pretty sure I wrote the same thing last year pertaining to 2007 and will again write the same thing for 2009.
They really need to drive a stake through the heart of this beast already and move on to WiFi, WiMax, EVDO, HSDPA, etc...

Re: Let it die...
Yeah, and not some half-assed "white space" interference generator, either. The only way white space can work is licensed frequencies by location. And then it's not really white space any more ...

Anything to have a viable alternative to Comcast HSI. Here in my city, AT&T DSL has a very, very low penetration rate so we really have no competition at all. |

I've heard rumors of testing in this area, but they've largely evaporated. That's the way it should be. BPL pollution can leave if it likes, and it won't be missed.
To any hams who have to deal with this stuff, I still say, 1.5KW amps and long ragchews. Point the beam at your nearest BPL repeater and call CQ for a while. 73 DE AE6YD. |

Unfortunately, I run in emergency mode - portable antenna, a 53 AH battery, and a FT897D. BPL would kill my operation and my puny signal would not affect it one bit.

Sad but true, the FCC would site Hams for jamming in that case, and let the Part 15 a$$h0!es continue to break the law.
The ARRL needs to buy FCC chair Kevin Martin a life, but unfortunately they are a non-profit organization and don't have the funds.

Most current Ham equipment is commercially produced, meets stringent FCC requirements, and operates perfectly legal with a licensed Ham at the controls.
I don't need no stinking filters, but I use a good LPF anyway.
Maybe you need to buy a better made TV and Phone next time??

There's no practical way to filter this BPL Crap out. 
But then again, you probably don't.

Why can't they just put fiber on power lines? No electrical interference. |
