Re: BPL
said by Slacker44  :No reason for HAMS. None. N O N E ....deleted a lot of garbage. So in other words, just because you have no need of it, then it can be destroyed for other people's use. Oh, and btw, in the 1.8 to 40 MHz range that we are talking about, Hams are only using about 4 MHz of it. Also, international treaties will come into play, not only on the ham bands, but on the other bands when the sunspot cycles get back to the good propagation levels, also many public/government services (your tax dollar at work) depend on those frequencies (I use some in my work). Our local sheriff uses VHF because the trunking system and cell phones do not work in some areas.
You remind me of a lady I once heard. San Francisco, about 1980, the State of California held a public hearing on the use of pesticides (I was working for that department as an electrical engineer). This well meaning lady, perfectly serious, got up and said (slightly paraphrased after 26 years) "Why do farmers have to use pesticides to grow their food, why can't they go to the grocery store like the rest of us?".
