Thats because the FCC doesnt care. HAM radio's dont make them, the gov, or anyone else much money. But this sure does. Will make a lot more $$ $ for power companies and expand the amount of people on broadband which is also more $$$ On Mon, 2004-10-18 at 15:40 +, Jeff Newton wrote: > Well,

Well, the FCC just APPROVED the BPL BS last week - hams are not going to like this one at light with the FCC, either...! I have heard a few talk about it over the radio here - and just about every ham is pissed at the commision for not taking a HARDER look at the testing results that were done
