This is a good start, but other places won't be as helpful, nor willing to listen.

Know what they call 50 BPL Executives on the bottom of Charleston Harbor?
A very good start!

Are there even 50 BPL executives to begin with http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
Anyway this trial used Amperion equipment which seems to be the equipment being used in the trials that have been most troublesome to amateurs. #There are rumors that Amperion is in financial difficulties. #We can only hope this is true. #If the BPL equipment makers go under we won't have any problems. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
I am happy to hear theBPL shut dhown here in Texas, that was right in our backyards, and there is still a Texas senete bill on the table to approve the expansion of BPL. There have been articles, and words flying, I am not surew hat is going to happen, but I hope for the best outcome.

Hi guys,
"This is a good start, but other places won't be as helpful, nor willing to listen."
Doesn't matter, we're talking FCC here.
All I can say is "Score one for the Gipper.".
I may just have to re-up my membership to ARRL! Got to give them credit for strong arming in like that. WHORAAH!

Hi 8VV and all,
"WHORAAH!"
You've been hanging around with R. Lee Ermy too long, watching too much Mail Call. That reminds me, when all else fails against BPL, use a .50 Browning Quad Four on it! (;->)
