The shortwave stations that broadcast news etc is not just a hobby. because Amateur radio is just a hobby the 1000's of dollars and all the work and effort evolved with it means nothing?
this is more than about money gained from BPL it is a direct assault on communications! and it is just another way to destroy 100's of jobs that this so-called hobby creates through the selling of ham related gear!

Fire up your linears and your beacon stations - if you're working the bands BPL won't be working the bands.
PERHAPS THE ARRL SHOULD FOCUS ITS LOBBYING EFFORT ON CONGRESS BECAUSE THE FCC DOESN'T SERIOUSLY CARE ABOUT HAM RADIO....
And the ARRL should spend less time extoling the virtues of everything above 28MHz - the majority of QST magazine is devoted to spectrum above the HF bands. Easier VHF activity can be had by buying some FMRS radios at Radio Shack.
At first I thought living near a highway would be a bad idea but hopefully the CB radios used by the truck drivers will put the quadidus on BPL around here.
