I’m very pleased to report to you that we now have a
Senate version of HR462!
The bill number will be available shortly.
Senator Mark Pryor (Arkansas) filed the bill today. This is
successful completion of an effort that has been ongoing for a little over two
months that has involved the activity of a variety of people. Another important
fact is that Entergy, the major utility in Arkansas and many parts of the U.S.
operates a BPL system to collect electric usage data (no subscriber base) and
has been very cooperative with radio amateurs from the very beginning about
preventing interference to amateur radio stations and actually bought off and
supports the language of the bill.
More later.
