FW: [Kenwood] BPL

Thu Oct 14 23:09:05 EDT 2004

As BPL takes a foot hold, we amateurs have little say because we can
not buy politicians. As the saying goes, good guys finish last.
I do not know the protocol or error correction codes for BPL.
Here is a thought. Use maximum legal CW power, use a directional
antenna and aim at the power lines. If the lines are close, it is better.
Will
this cause interference to BPL? I don't know.
If the BPL supporters do not care about us, why should we care about
them. Besides, it could be fun.
Mort, KB6BSN
