Serious Danger to Shortwave Bands in DL

dj7mgq writes "The below is a description of <a href="http://www.egroups.de/group/save-shortwave/">save-shortwave/A>






On March 30 the German Government signed an act that allows the generation of noise levels on all frequencies up to 30 MHz that will make most use of shortwave impossible. We expect other european countries to follow.



In worst case this law will allow S9+ noise levels on all shortwave bands 24 hours a day 365 day a year.






Providers of "Powerline Communications" (PLC / PLT) recently started offering their services to the public. PLC / PLT will be the first service to create the described noise levels.






We are afraid that in the near future nobody in europe will be able to get uncensored information from outside his own country, shortwave amateur-radio will become impossible at least in Europe






Please help us to spread this information.









(a few comments:



- "the German Government signed"

is not 100% correct. The German version
of the senate passed 3 bills, meaning
that these will become law.



- "nobody in europe will be able to get
uncensored information">

I rather doubt that non-shortwave sources
of information, eg. newspapaers, will be
censored.
