>"UPLC also commented on amateur radio opposition to the technology, urging >the Commission to ignore 'armchair amateurs that still use vacuum tube >transmitters' What else should we expect.....that is the opinion WE gave them from that horrible Wall Street Journal article. Instead of promoting our hi tech activities, International Space Station activities, Joe Taylor's meteor scatter innovations, etc., we showed them a bunch of over weight, middle aged white guys running around in their cars yakking about nothing and bitching about BPL. We've done a horrible job of promoting the exciting, innovative things about amateur radio and have done a great job of bending over and showing them our plumber's crack. 73 Joel W5ZN p.s. I really am in a good mood today !!

25 JUN, 2004 - 1440 CDT The United Power Line Council (UPLC) has filed it's BPL reply comments. Below is the UPLC URL page that describes in this organizations' own words what it thinks about Amateur Radio and the other groups that are opposing the FCC's BPL proposal. http://www.uplc.org/?cbr_v=dcb&nt=true&cbr_eid=25276&p=admin&ct=contentbrow… Excerpted Quote: "UPLC also commented on amateur radio opposition to the technology, urging the Commission to ignore 'armchair amateurs that still use vacuum tube transmitters' and listen to the reputable companies and entrepreneurs who are the real experts on BPL..." What a bunch of unmitigated, ignorant, self-seeking, lying, BS! Happy Field Day everyone... 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Our web site announced today that the FCC regulatory fee to obtain an Amateur Radio vanity call sign will rise from $16.30 to $20.80 later this year. The FCC says it anticipates 7800 applications for FY2004 -- 2000 fewer than the previous fiscal year. Didn't I learn in Capitalism 101 that prices aren't supposed to rise when demand decreases? In light of such weirdo economics and the love affair with BPL, I conclude that to work at some federal agencies you are required to be significantly detached from reality. Have a happy Field Day. 73 - Kay N3KN

Tom, I just happened to think. Your offer of BBQ chicken, etc. is too good to pass up so readily. Considering that the folks who bring us such delicacies as White Castle hamburgers and the great specialty Skyline (Cincinnati-style) chili have developed a great business in shipping their products packed in dry ice, worldwide, I'll be happy to receive such a goody box on my return home Monday after the meeting. Of course, I'll be equally happy to record my burps to demonstrate to you just how good I think everything was! CU, Jim W.
