Re: Wait - Something Useful?
said by Camelot One  :I'm still confused on the logic. I see that hobby radio is useful during disasters, but wouldn't a disaster that required hobby radio (namely, loss of power/phone) mean the BPL would be down anyway? So your willing to hop on a new Airplane design without it being tested/maintained prior to your boarding? You don't check out your car to make sure all is right with it before embarking on a trip with your loved ones? Would you double check the batteries are good in the flashlight before going into a cave?.. The list goes on. 
Same with emergency radio communications. You can't test, double check, improve the radio equipment, antennas and feed lines if BPL interference is present (power on). during "normal" times. 
HTH's to clear it up for you.
