Just
imagine you are working DX on your favorite band whether it's 20 Metres
or 6 Metres and on the next day
all
you can hear are 40 over nine data noises all over the band even worse
than Channel 0 TV video crud.
Also
imagine you are in the outback of Australia or on a small boat in the middle
of the ocean and you are in a
life
threatening emergency but your pleas for help cannot be heard by stations
interfered by BPL.
Remember
only dollars count. The BPL companies are pushing hard to get BPL fully
laid out with the blessing of
our
Government and get all interference protection removed from all HF users.
It
seems Government and BPL operators think downloading MP3s, logging on chat
channels, playing games ETC
are
more important than Peoples lives but maybe that is the general thinking
in the 21st century !
Let
us hope there will be no more Earth quakes, Hurricanes, Floods, Tsunamis,
Bush Fires, Cyclones, Tornados,
ETC
when all normal communications means , Mobile phones, VHF/UHF repeaters
are down and the only way to get through on HF will be blocked by those
downloading MP3s on BPL.
There
are BPL trials in VK7 VK1 and VK4 as well in the USA, Canada, New Zealand,
England ETC.
I
do hope BPL will fail miserably after all it is not needed as we got ADSL
normal broadband for the internet.
To
sum up`- We must surport the W.I.A. or your countrys radio organizations
who are trying to stop this madness.
BPL will cause DEATHS!
