Topband: Interference questions dog broadband over power lines - more anti-ham radio propaganda

[Kim Herron]

Hi Gang,
     I'm new to the list but I've two question/observations:

    1.  Since when was an attorney qualified to evaluate RF noise?

     2. Have you ever known anyone to voluntarily acknowledge that they did 
something that would
cause someone else a problem, and be willing to stop it, especially if it 
would cost them money?

Nuff said.



Thanks!!
