>"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.
