Seriously people, BPL is BAD news for EVERYONE. It's bad For amateur radio operators, it's bad for shortwave radio listeners or am radio listeners, it's bad for people who want their lives saved during/after a natural disaster but now can't because the rf spectrum is now to polluted to have the Amateur Radio Emergency Service come and help you. BTW your cellphone and land line phone won't work because THEY'RE overloaded with traffic but our radios will never have that happen to them. And if you think that the Amateur Radio Emergency Service is irrelevant than go to Wikipedia or Google and read up on them. You'll like what you see. Disclaimer- I'm a Amateur Radio Operator.
