Do these people pushing for BPL not care about the lives of those who will use their service? We already know what it can do to emergency communications, and some of the things we enjoy today (like radio, sat.).

We should ask the FCC that question... they are the idiots who endorsed it in the states. Glad Powell retired to promptly! |

Say that when your left with no other form of commucation.
I find that people who what ham radio to die, are the ones that know nothing about it.
So before you want something to die, I dare you to go to a ham radio club meeting and find out what all my fellow Ham Radio operators do for the community. In my home state of Georgia, they allow ham radio operators to get their tag with their radio call for free. The reason why they do this is because Ham Radio operators do so much for the state, and do it for free. So I put it to you again, go to a ham club meeting and then tell say you want something to die.
I will be happy to give you a list of clubs in Vienna, Va.

Re: Umm..
Don't waste your time and knowledge on this puny gaming punk.
He will never even go and check it out. After all downloading his pxrn and games is what's more important. These are the kinds of people that promote and support things like BPL no matter what damage it causes. When there is an emergency in his area, he will be the first one to cry out "is there a ham around?" But we would still help him regardless of his pros and cons. Perhaps he should put a sign in his front yard saying "hams stay out" then he will get no help from us when it counts. |
