Re: The average brings us down?

Might I add to this to go against LiamJunket's thumbs down

Too much rural area???

Not profitable enough to install new lines throughout all the rural areas???

OK, understandable.....but then why not just invest in BPL (broadband over powerlines) for just the rural areas???

Think about it

Three reasons:

1. BPL causes a LOT of interference. Not just to ham radio but other uses of HF such as aviation, ships and broadcast.

2. Expensive repeaters are required pretty close together.

3. BPL really isn't that fast anyway.

Frankly, fiber would be a better choice as it is future proof. One investment and you're done.
