I had an opportunity to listen to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell, W6OBB this morning and he had quite a few callers that were asking about BPL and Jim Haynies appearance on his show last week. Art spoke on the subject for quite a while indicating that SWL's would also be affected as well as governmental agencies and felt it was a very bad move. A strong point was made that BPL is being marketed as a broadband service for people in the country but it's target is the big cities, where the largest population lives. He is very outspoken on this subject, although I see he is not a League member. It is good to have a strong media voice in our corner. Dick Mondro, W8FQT --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
