For a small sum of $25,000 I am empowered by unknown bankers to sell the talk-in frequency to all who may see these humble comments.

[ARRL-ODV:8846] OK, here it is.

Actually, given the apparent continuing success of the Nigerian-type scam, I am surprised we haven't thought of sending our business types to the conference so we can learn to be equally successful at it. Ever think? This could be an opportunity to get in a position we don't need to worry about raising money in the future, ever again. Would this be a project for Mary Hobart to undertake? 73, Jim (the-devil-made-me-do-it) W.

Money talks. To the ARRL Staff: Today's (Jun 2) FCC decision to allow further monopolization of local media markets is illustrative of two different approaches Amateur Radio can take to approach the FCC about the BPL issue. To some extent, the FCC's decision could be seen as a decision to make policy so as to maximize benefit to existing spectrum holders. Since we hams are existing spectrum holders of HF, this is one approach that is in our favor. However, "money talks". The FCC allowed further broadcast monopolization in spite of 500,000 comments opposing it, according to today's Wall Street Journal, and held over 70 face to face meetings with broadcasting representatives, while holding only five meetings with public interest groups. In addition, the WSJ reports in the same article how a Bear-Stearns media analyst with ties to a dozen or more media companies holds major influence over FCC policy on these matters. To succeed against BPL with this FCC, therefore, we must align ourselves with HF commercial interests along with similarly well-funded Defense and Homeland Security HF interests. The ARRL and the Amateur Radio community cannot stand alone on this issue. -Wiley Sanders KF6IIU Lafayette CA

That is when one really gets "served". Chris
