| BPL in Iraq (case #19) Rumour has it that Saddam did early trial on some BPL technology acquired from either the Frenchs or the Americans. It is unclear what the intent was: protecting against the US military high tech communications equipment or perhaps an early WMD trial. Spectrum used ranged from 4 MHz to 5000 MHz and was massive. Few repeaters were needed due to power levels used. It may in fact be a reason why a good portion of their electrical infrastructure had to be taken down and this particular WMD could not be uncovered.
Rumour also has it that Michael Moore is working on this story and will have some clips of this now very tormented FCC commissionner wining and dining with some powerful people earlier on. Michael was the waiter at the table and took off his baseball cap in order to look more inconspicuous. He may make a case in the movie for using guns when horses are badly ailing. Kucinich may contribute his power utility watchdog credentials.
Last rumour is that the ARRL BPLmobile may not be available for the burial of the dead horse as it looks for out of band leakage. Any other volunteers for throwing in some shovelful?
