[RFI] Broadband over Power Line (BPL) radio interference

[Tom Rauch]

If you've arranged for local hams to cover every active and
imminently
active BPL pilot, then my criticism was indeed incorrect. Is
there a similar
effort aimed at hams working for public service agencies
that use HF? A BPL
shutdown due to unmitigated interference to a public service
agency would be
immensely valuable.>>>

There are many Hams who also are involved in police or
emergency management activities. For example both K4MST and
I are deputized and trained to operate the 911 center gear.
The 911 center director is a ham, as is a senior Georgia
State Trooper who works this area.

Sooner or later BPL will screw up communications in an
emergency. People can't arrange for it to happen, but if it
happens (and I think it eventually will happen) you can
count on it making the news.
