I posted a request for a press kit on this reflector a couple of days ago specifically for this kind of situation and got no response whatsoever. I'll contribute money to the ARRL when they tell me t
If you mean that you got no response from ARRL, posting a request to ARRL on a reflector is not a good way to get an answer. Media PR is not my baliwick, but ARRL has spent the contributions made so
Given the magnitude of the threat we face, the ARRL should create within itself a single organization responsible and accountable for defeating BPL. All activities -- including PR -- should be driven

This thread is becoming tiresome. Dave, I'm sure you are an extremely bright guy from the things you've said in here. Ed, your dedication and work on the BPL issue is well respected by many amateur o
My comments are aimed at improving our chances of prevailing over BPL; they do not target individuals. We cannot hamstring ourselves for fear of offending those who've been leading the fight. Hopeful
I don't find this thread tiresome at all. It is exactly the kind of dialog that needs to happen. Dave is right, we need to bridge the gap between the excellent technical work Ed has done and the tech
Dave, That is an unrealistic expectation. First, there are two entities within ARRL that oversee its operation. Its Board of Directors and its senior management. But none of them should be expected t

I disagree, Ed. Senior management can create a single integrated team tasked with winning this war. Educating the ham community, and providing them with continuously up-to-date information would be a
Few hams have the resources to collect their data in any other terms, Tom. I am not sure what to do about that. One one hand, gathering some information about the level of pre- and post-BPL noise is

I don't think it is as bad as you describe, Tom. While I agree that a step attenuator can do exactly what you say it can, I would bet that less than 5% of hams have one and know how to use it correct
1. I will not participate in, much less establish, an anti-BPL effort outside of the ARRL; that would be counterproductive. 2. I have already volunteered to help the ARRL effort. 3. I would rather co
Neither the BPL backgrounder nor the video - explain BPL's technical challenges beyond RFI generation - explain BPL's business challenges - mention any hard facts substantiating the above (e.g. Allia
