[RFI] San Diego BPL

[Ford Peterson]

>From the ARRL home page this afternoon:

"...The SDG&E staffers said they were unimpressed by early BPL equipment, but were encouraged by a December visit to the Cinergy BPL system in Cincinnati--said to pass some 50,000 homes reportedly without generating any interference complaints so far. Cinergy has partnered with Current Technologies in its BPL venture."

*******************

Is this true?  That Cincinnati has had 50,000 homes being supplied high speed access without complaints?  If this is NOT true, then why the heck aren't hams screaming bloody murder in the streets of Cincinatti?

If the Cincinnati system is proving to be useful and interference free, then we should support the effort in San Diego.  If it is NOT interference free, then we need to be making a concerted effort to inform the public accordingly.

So what of this claim of no complaints in Cincinnati?  Is it true or not?
