Take a look at page 43, September 2003 PC WORLD. All it took was a quick e-mail (about 3 minutes to compose and send).
Send letters to your local newspaper, to any computer rags you may subscribe to, and even to your local power company's newsletter if they publish one. E-mail makes it easy. The big BPL lobby hast'nt done much to promote BPL to the general public just yet. Let's beat them to the draw, and call the public's attention to why this is such crappy technology, before the BPL lobby begins its inevitable disinformation propaganda campaign.
If one active ham in 10 managed to get a letter published, the news media would pick up on it, and BPL would already have a black eye in the mind of the public before the first ads are released.
Don't put a lot of emphasis on the ham radio issue. #Talk police, fire, military, aviation, national security, radio astronomy, etc., then maybe a quick mention: incidentally, ham radio too.
