I agree with your statements Rob about waiting to bring up the issue;
however, NOW IS THE TIME to make recordings of emergency nets from noisy BPL
areas. This is something that cannot be done after the nets are shutdown.
Since most BPL trials are located in areas where there usually aren't any
hams, any ham who cannot travel to and participate directly in the relief
effort but has a mobile radio and BPL nearby, should go to a trial area and
attempt to make recordings of BPL causing interference to "Emergency Nets".
We need to counter the arguments that once a disaster happens all power is
out so the interference is gone. We all know the other end of the comm
circuit needs to be able to rcv as well--so a recording would provide proof
of this.
Of course this would be something to bring up AFTER the dust has settled.

hi,
I'm not sure this is the time to start pursuing an anti-BPL agenda. One of
the problems with the hurricane at this point is special interest groups
degrading the signal to noise ratio with a lot of agenda driven commentary.
there will be plenty of time during the post-mortem period later on, to
discuss BPL, global warming, racism and all the other stuff people are
dredging up at this point, which to me, is diverting time and energy away
from disaster relief. I realize no one here has been talking about global
warming and racism--i merely mentioned them as examples of other issues
coming up right now. I think the politicians like Mark Kirk who is
currently on Navy reserve duty have enough to do, and bringing up BPL might
only be an irritation to him and others, and be counter productive for ham
radio. I suggest we wait until things stabilize. I assure you, there is
going to be a seemingly endless period of inquiries, reviews, gassing, and
so on once the dust starts to settle--ample opportunity at that point to
talk about BPL; but not now.

Maybe my email implied that the nets were receiving interference from BPL.
I did NOT mean to suggest that,,,,
I mean to suggest that continued implementation, especially a large
one, would/could/should cause problems.
