[RFI] BPL Propaganda, ARRL Rebuttal on NPR's Morning Edition

[Tom Rauch]

Telling them they did a "bad job" is meaningless. Hams are
also significantly less important to the rest of the world
when compared to granny accessing pictures. If the general
public had a choice in the matter, ham radio would go rather
than broadband internet.

Pointing out that BPL pollutes frequencies used by
International Broadcast, aircraft, and emergency services,
that it is expensive compared to wireless broadband would
have more impact.

clearly cropped his comments so sharply that they lost much
of the impact they should have had.  If you go to NPR.ORG
there is a very accessible e-mail form. Be polite, avoid
jargon, but let's let them hear what a bad job they did.
