It was in a wireless news article. I will see if I can find the URL again. Jim W5JBP/7

Where does it say 25 watts?? I did not see that in the notice. If you have some more information, I'd sure like to see it. I would rather have WISP's authorized to run higher power from 3650 - 3700 MHz for broadband access, which won't impact amateur radio, than BPL running 2 - 80 MHz. I can live with one, not the other, and if they are proposing to raise the Part 15 power limit in that band segment only the comment I would make on the proposal is that Part 15 limits in segments where there are amateur allocations should not be increased. 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: W5JBP(a)aol.com [mailto:W5JBP@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 10:31 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10476] Re: Thoughts In a message dated 4/18/2004 11:01:36 AM Eastern Daylight Time, frenaye(a)pcnet.com writes: > The "good news" is that the FCC action in 3650-3700 MHz is not a direct threat to the Amateur Service, we're at > 3300-3500.

>From the April 13, 2004 edition of The e-Communicator: YOUR BPL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - A little more than a week ago, President George W Bush said his administration is working toward universal, affordable broadband internet access by 2007. Great idea! A national policy that includes tax-free access and competition will open new highways of knowledge, spread innovations in education & medicine, and help keep us competitive in a global economy. Of the several ways to deliver broadband access, such as DSL, cable, wireless and satellite, only BPL is unworthy of a place in our national policy because, by polluting the RF spectrum, it destroys much more than it accomplishes. ----- Original Message ----- From: <W5JBP(a)aol.com> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv(a)reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 5:52 AM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10474] Thoughts > There are two files, one PDF and one in Word. > > Jim Haynie >

What I meant to say is: "credibility" although based on the amount of monies that might be available, our credit would improve. Jim

Friday, I took it upon myself to an agreement with the chief of communications for the TSA (Chris W3KD was the only person still at work at 4 PM EDT on Friday) in Washington, D. C. and has been staying up with the ARESCOM reflector. In the near future we will do a demonstration of WinLink with 6 locations. One will be in D. C. at his comm center, one on the west coast, one in Florida, one in the Chicago area, one in the New York area and the last will be in the Hartford area. TSA as you know is part of Homeland Security and they will be having an exercise wherein they will have their communications disrupted and will switch over to these individual test sites. If it works, and I am sure it will, we will step up a rung with our efforts for recognition and credit ability. Dick Mondro has the ball, and I am confident it will go well. I was told that there might be a significant amount of grant funding to expand the system depending on the success. Jim Haynie

The "good news" is that the FCC action in 3650-3700 MHz is not a direct threat to the Amateur Service, we're at 3300-3500. I completely agree that we've gone beyond dealing with BPL on a technical basis. We "know" it will fail over the long term, and maybe in the short term. But it may take years before that happens. That leaves us with the political basis. I don't think we've stepped up to the plate on it yet. I'm ready to say we need to free up some resources so we have them to support a more political effort. The job can't be done with just you, Dave and Chwat/Riker. Freeing up resources means I think we should put some program/programs on hold for a year so we can dedicate more resources to networking with members to find the ones who can effectively work with Congress. That also involves working with Directors, Vice Directors, Section Managers, etc, and really can't be done as a part time, second responsibility. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki(a)arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
