Chris's comment that he does not know the document number for his report concerns me, as it was listed on the agenda I distributed to ODV on December 21. Did anyone else not receive the call for the meeting and the attached agenda at that time?

Well, don't be too hard on Jay. Like many of our members, he just feels very strongly about amateur radio. He thinks that if everyone doesn't share his feelings, that means we must be doing something wrong. Maybe he was a bit rough in expressing himself, but if our members didn't care we'd be in big trouble. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Has Ambient or FCC ever indicated why the use of two different timelines in the resolution of BPL interference issues should apply? Specifically why a system shutdown for even a few days pending resolution for the relatively few number of actual BPL customers is unreasonable, but a disruption to and the loss of use of a licensed service for over 10 months is permissible? By the way according to my Websters Dictionary ambient is defined as surrounding on all sides. An aptly named corporation. Jay, KØQB -----Original Message----- From: W3KD(a)aol.com [mailto:W3KD@aol.com] Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 2:59 PM To: arrl-odv Cc: n1rl(a)arrl.org Subject: [ARRL-ODV:11705] Briarcliff Manor BPL interference case Greetings. The following was just sent to FCC and to the attorney for Ambient Corporation, the BPL provider at Briarcliff Manor, NY. For your eyes only, the "FCC Enforcement Bureau staff member" referred to here is Riley Hollingsworth. Ambient has taken a decidedly hard line most recently, since they can't effectively notch out the amateur interference from its BPL system. 20 meters is a mess in large parts of Briarcliff Manor. This is now the poster child case for our reconsideration petition, and Ambient is now in full denial mode. 73, Chris W3KD
